You guys should do this with a twist, seeing how well you all did with RI3D in FRC.

FTC in one weekend blindfolded, anyone? :D

This is going to be so exciting! I can't wait! I know our FTC/FRC Alumni are planning on doing something similar.

Re: [Ri3d] Robot in 1 Weekend, a FTC Build Challenge
 

I know you all use a different control system on you Ri3d robot (at least the original one) are you planning on a fully legal FTC bot?

Re: [Ri3d] Robot in 1 Weekend, a FTC Build Challenge
 

I can't wait to see how this turns out.

I also hope they build a mostly FTC legal robot (the motors and the size and material constraints)

Also If you need any remote assistance I would love to help

Excited to see the outcome of this!

I'm excited to see how this turns out. A group of FTC Mentors/old memebers from our team wanted to try an do this with the FTC side this year, but the plans just fell through, as we had to plan how to run two classes this year. Maybe next year!

Excited!

I'm sure everyone remembers the 1600 sq ft shed handbuilt by the IR3 team which Ri3d 1.0's 2014 FRC robot was built.

Well get ready to be super impressed with Ri1W's super-amazing stronghold of awesome. The space... is named The Bohn Zone. (Bohn is pronounced like "bone" in german)

Is there a stream? If so, I can't seem to find it.

Re: [Ri3d] Robot in 1 Weekend, a FTC Build Challenge
 

We are having some technical difficulties with it at the moment, but we are recording what we are doing. We'll have video up after we do our strategy sessions

We are using the FTC electronics parts, the video of it driving around today was all FTC stuff, NXT and all.

Woodie Flowers has encouraged all FIRST participants to do the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.

Challenge Accepted.

Now I challenge all other FTC rapid build teams (any robot in X number of days) to pour a bucket of ice water on one of its members.

5257, 3481, 7649: Your turn.

We put up videos all along with our build. You can watch them and see the process we went through to get to the final bot.
