Resources




As a rookie team, before and during the build season we completed long hours of research on how to form a team, what we needed for a team, and what to expect from the game -- and we came across some very helpful resources during the process:

Even before our season started, our team diligently prepared ourselves with the information a rookie team would need to succeed.  After splitting up into four main "tech" groups (manipulators, chassis, programming, and electronics), our mentors prepared lessons on the subjects we would need to be fluent in for the upcoming season. 

Using our mentor's past experiences with FRC to guide us, we learned about everything from gears to torque to the unique parts we will be using.  Thanks to our sponsors at CMU, specifically the wonderful mentors from the Field Robotics Center, we've been able to practice using equipment that most of us have never seen before.

Below are some of the amazing things we've been able to accomplish so far. 


We made videos for sponsors...
