Steam Punks Robotic Team

 

WORK

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

The First Tech. Challenge (FTC) is designed for students in grades 7 - 12 to compete head to head, using a sports model. Terms are responsible for designing, building, and programming their robots to complete in an alliance format against other teams. The robot kit is reusable from year-to-year and is programmed using a variety of languages. Teams, including coaches, mentors, and volunteers, are required to develop stagety and build robots based on sound engineering principles. Awards are given for the competition as well as forcommunity outreach, design, and other real-world accomplishments. The untmate goal of FTC is to reach more young people with a lower-cost, more accessible opportunity to dicover the excitement and rewards of sciience, technology, engineering and math.

INSPIRATION

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

The reason I want to be an engineer to help people by solvig problems. Engineering gives an opportunities to make ideas into real life. 

I joined Robotics Club because one of my majors was going to engineering and this may be hands on experience. -Ryan Hemme

I joined Robotics Club because my highest grade are in science, and some of my family members were engineers and thats what inspried me. -Demetrice Cooper

I joined Robotic so I could make a computer code and build a robot at home. So I can have a homemade robot battels. -Christan Roberson

DESIGNING

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

The game is played on a 12 ft. X 12 ft. square feild with approxmitly 1 ft, high walls and a soft foam mat.Scoring elements are 14 Climber figurines and 80 Debris in the shape of blocks and spheres. At the start of each match, Debris are randomly located throughtout the playing feild floor. Each team starts with up to Climbers that can be pre-loaded onto their robot. Two randomly selected teams are paired together as an alliance to play one match against a second alliance. Alliances are designated as either "red", or "blue." Matches have two distinct periods of play: a 30-second Auntonomous period followed by a two minute Driver-Controlled period which includes a 30-second End Game.
