  • FIRSTTM AERIAL ASSISTSM 2014 Robotics Game Unveiled
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Rebecca Berggren FIRST ­ California [email protected] / 619.838.4860 FIRSTTM AERIAL ASSISTSM 2014 Robotics Game Unveiled AERIAL ASSISTSM Game Revealed to Nearly 70,000 High­School Students Worldwide at the 2014 FIRST Robotics Competition Season Kickoff SAN DIEGO, CA, January 4, 2013 ­ Inventor and FIRST Founder Dean Kamen launched the 2014 FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) season today with the Kickoff of a new robotics game called AERIAL ASSISTSM to nearly 70,000 high­school students on more than 2,700 teams in 92 cities around the globe via live NASA­TV broadcast and webcast. Nearly 400 San Diego high school students on FRC teams convened at the San Diego Kickoff Event at Kearny High School were they shown the AERIAL ASSIST playing field and received a Kit of Parts made up of motors, batteries, a control system, a PC, and a mix of automation components – and only limited instructions. Working with adult Mentors, students will have only six weeks to design, build, program, and test their robots to meet the season’s engineering challenge. The Stop Build deadline is on February 18th at midnight. Once these young inventors build a robot, their teams will participate in one or more of the 98 Regional and District competitions that measure the effectiveness of each robot, the power of collaboration, and the determination of students. San Diego teams will compete in the 2014 game, AERIAL ASSIST, at the 8th Annual San Diego FIRST Robotics Competition held at the Valley View Casino Center (formerly Sports Arena) on March 6­8, 2014.

  • FMS Whitepaper
    FMS Whitepaper FMS Whitepaper Overview The Field Management System (FMS) is the electronics core of a FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) playing field. It encompasses all the controls for the field electronics, team robots, and is used to manage the event by creating match schedules, managing all field hardware during a match (timers, team lights, estops, etc.), scoring the matches in real-time, posting information to the Audience screen, and uploading results data to the Internet. FMS is based on Ethernet architecture. Components such as the Driver Station, or the touchscreens used by the referees, integrate with FMS through direct wired Ethernet interfaces. Devices like the ball counters used in Breakaway and Rebound Rumble, or the Estops and Stack Lights mounted in each Player Station, interface through Ethernet-based Input/Output (I/O) modules that are donated to FIRST by Rockwell Automation. The lights used to illuminate the tower bases in Logo Motion, the bridges in Rebound Rumble, and the high goals in Aerial Assist are controlled via Ethernet-enabled power supplies donated to FIRST by Philips Color Kinetics. The weight sensors used in Ultimate Accent were read by a National Instruments cRIO-FRC II and interfaced over the Ethernet network to a Rockwell Automation PLC module, to give some examples. This white paper focuses on the electronics infrastructure needed to control the robots on the playing field. Specific details on the FMS software used during each season can be found in the Field Management System User Guide, publicly available on this site. Frequently Asked Questions about the Field Management System and recommended best practices when operating on the competition field appear at the end of this document.

Others Win Honors for Design, Sportsmanship, and Entrepreneurship Troy, NY - Attended by thousands of fans, families, educators and industry leaders, the FIRST® (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition New York Tech Valley Regional awarded several teams with honors that rewarded design excellence, competitive play, sportsmanship and high impact partnerships between schools, businesses and communities. Held at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute East Campus Athletic Village (ECAV) arena on March 17-19, the 36 high school student teams competed to earn a spot at the FIRST Championship, held April 27-30, 2016, in St. Louis, Mo. With the hope of winning one of the several coveted awards, high school students worked with professional Mentors from local Corporations and Educational Institutions to design and build a robot over a six week period that solved a problem using a kit of parts and a standard set of rules. In FIRST STRONGHOLDSM, two Alliances of three robots each are on a Quest to breach their opponents’ fortifications, weaken their tower with boulders, and capture the opposing tower. Robots score points by breaching opponents’ defenses and scoring boulders through goals in the opposing tower. During the final 20 seconds of the Quest, robots may surround and scale the opposing tower to capture it. “This year, Tech Valley FIRST was proud to support 17 teams by awarding $75,000 in grants and enabling them to participate in the 2016 FIRST STRONGHOLD competition,” said Dr.

  • FIRST Games – Staff Picks Created As an Activity for the FIRST Robotics Competition at Home Challenge: Game Design Competition Alex Herreid
    FIRST Games – Staff Picks Created as an activity for the FIRST Robotics Competition at Home Challenge: Game Design Competition Alex Herreid FIRST Robotics Competition Software Engineer & FIRST Robotics Competition Game Design Committee Member Giant yoga balls from FIRST Overdrive in 2008 Robot’s had to handle a large, heavy game object and be able to both acquire and control the ball, not just shoot it. Robot’s had to either throw the ball over a bar, or be able to release it so it would roll under on its own and re- acquire it on the other side. They could not carry it under the bar or it would not score points! The Game Animation can be found here. 2 Amanda Bessette FIRST Robotics Competition Systems Engineer & FIRST Robotics Competition Game Design Committee Member One of my favorite game elements was the human player strategy component that the Vault added in the 2018 FRC game, FIRST® POWER UPSM I enjoy games with a depth of strategy to analyze. The traditional role of the human player involves introducing game pieces into the field. The Vault added a unique strategic depth to the Human Player role. With the Vault, Human Players did more. They were scoring the game pieces and choosing when to activate power ups on the field to help their alliance. Power ups were not only dependent on when they were activated but also the quantity of power cubes in their shelf. The human players had more choices to make, and the strategy was on more than just the robots! The game animation can be found here.
