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. -

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. -
BZM IQP BZM‐VF08 FIRST VIRTUAL CHALLENGE An
BZM IQP BZM‐VF08 FIRST VIRTUAL CHALLENGE 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 Arthur Dutra Ciáran Murphy Andrew Nehring Jeffrey O’Rourke Date: May 29th, 2009 Approved: Brad Miller, Major Advisor Professor Mark Claypool, Co‐Advisor i Abstract Since the founding of US FIRST in 1989, there has been a consistent impetus to find new areas of growth to expand FIRST’s message of inspiration and recognition of science and technology in the K‐12 educational market. To supplement their other programs, FIRST hopes to use the 5thGear simulator, designed and programmed by software engineers at Lockheed Martin, to expand their message and impact to any student with access to a computer. The scope of the FIRST Virtual Challenge project is to make recommendations on the best methods, competition models, and necessary improvements in the 5thGear simulator to allow the creation of the FIRST Virtual Challenge. These recommendations are made based upon extensive background research and thorough data from tests run at select FIRST and FIRST‐related events. The final recommendations for this project discuss use of the 5thGear simulator in an auxiliary competition on Thursday at FRC Regional and Championship Event, use of the simulator internally at FIRST for game design and animation uses, use for recruiting, marketing, and outreach by teams, use for driver training by teams, and use for strategy planning by teams. ii Acknowledgements We would like to thank Brad Miller and Professor Claypool for being our advisors throughout the last seven months, and for their valuable input and guidance throughout. -
