Re: Selecting members for a FTC team
When we build, there are typically 1-2 students that focus on each mechanism, which leaves a few as "floaters" to help out where needed. That sort of focus helps to ensure the mechanism moves in a...

Re: Parts Mangment
I've found that your storage is going to depend on your build space. My team has been through a few different build spaces, and each one had different storage requirements. There was a period where...

Re: Registration 2016
