We program, by sponsoring RUSH. participated in a one day competition at Pontiac Central called the Chief Through our sponsorship, we learned Delphi Invitational (CDI). You had 1 day to build a small robot out of RC about the goals of FIRST and dump truck parts to play a game. After this, Mrs. Hughes said that we became even more committed. We were forming a robotics team that would play a game like CDI, but on a have added 15 new teams and are larger scale. I had a great time that Saturday and decided to join.

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.

  • Assessing Educational Needs of FIRST Robotics Competition Rookie Teams
    1 Assessing Educational Needs of FIRST Robotics Competition Rookie Teams An Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By: Ryan Giovacchini Paul Heslinga Advisors: Taskin Padir Brad Miller October 2011 2 Abstract The rate at which students in the United States are pursuing and graduating with a degree in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) is declining steadily. Given the role of engineers in the world today; to meet the demand of society, there is a need to change this trend. FIRST, a not-for-profit organization is determined to fight this deviation by incorporating engineering through robotics competitions earlier in the lives of young students. The goal is to involve students in engineering, specifically the design and build of robots. This project is aimed at assessing the educational needs of students new to the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) and developing a set of requirements for an educational website. Using data collected by surveying students and mentors from the FRC community, this project provides recommendations for an online robotics learning resource designed to improve the retention rates of the competition through a support system for FRC Rookie teams. 3 Acknowledgements In addition to our advisors, we would like to thank everyone who took the time to fill out our survey and give us personal feedback and recommendations. We would like to extend our thanks to Professor Skorinko, for aiding us in attaining IRB approval. We are especially grateful for the contributions of the FIRST Team 2191 for giving us the opportunity to discuss the proposed website with our target audience.

  • Spanking the Children a Brief History of Penalties in the FRC.Pdf
    “Spanking the Children” A Brief History of Penalties in the FRC: Jim Zondag, FRC Team #33 – Killer Bees For all you newcomers to FIRST, I thought it would be good to shed a little light on the subject of FRC game penalties with a history lesson. Hopefully this will bring some clarity for this volatile topic and highlight what a mess this entire subject has become. Our team has been participating in the FRC for 19 years and has lived through the good, the bad, and the ugly of the evolution of FRC games. We participated for our first 8 years in FRC without ever getting a penalty. (Gasp!, What?, How can this be?). This is because in the early years of FRC, there were no penalties. Prior to 2004, there were no point penalties in FRC games. Teams could be disqualified for certain egregious actions, like flipping, pinning, or entanglement. These DQs were quite rare and typically we would only see one or two DQs per tournament. Refs were reluctant to call these fouls due to their severity, so it took a blatant infraction to be DQ’d. This lack of penalty rules was not always a good thing. Way back at the beginning, robots were slow and underpowered. Over time, the battery got bigger, the motors got better, and the robots got faster. The collisions got harder and the damage got worse. There were no bumpers yet. The Power/Weight ratio of some FRC robots today is now about 5 times what it was 15 years ago. The venerable CIM motor was added to the KOP in 2002 (Who remembers when 2 CIMs was a strong drivetrain ).
