Re: FRC Terminology And Definitions

I love the idea! What we at Frog Force found, was that our new team members would sort of back away slowly and hide their faces when we started saying terms like "Pits" and "Alliance Selection". So we started by creating a forum where our own students could ask questions about these terms and we could answer them.

It turned into a website for our team, and now we are hoping that other teams can use it too-Where people can go to learn about FIRST lingo.

I think the idea of having an actual sheet to hand out it smart since not everyone has access to the internet at a comp- or at least I never personally have. After reading this thread I have some students who moderate the website start defining a lot of the terms on this thread and the links to other locations to find more FIRST lingo, and I think it's helped a ton with the site.

I think it’s completely possible for us here at Frog Force to take some of our terms and make "FIRST lingo" sheets for the community. We could upload these sheets on Chief Delphi when we are done.

The site is www.Froggypedia.com by the way. You can create an account and add terms/edit previous definitions if you would like. We really hope that anyone who goes to the site can have an enriched experience with lots of input for certain definitions.

thanks!!
