Robots
The machines our students design and build.
Every season our students design, build and program a competition robot. FIRST robots are industrial-sized machines of up to around 55 kg, built in a few intense weeks and then put to the test in strategic, noisy and very fun alliance matches.
What goes into a robot
- Designing innovative mechanical, electrical and software control systems
- Creating complex autonomous systems in Java, including vision targeting
- Computer-aided design using TinkerCAD and Fusion 360
- Prototyping, testing and iterating on mechanisms
