Re: General FRC mechanical things
The Simbotics website link is a great one.

Another great resource is a website like TheBlueAlliance.net, where you can watch video from past competitions (YouTube also has many FRC robot and match videos). If you watch the Einstein rounds from each season, you can get a pretty good idea of what mechanisms tend to be successful. If you find a robot that you want to learn more about, you can google the team name to find their website (many teams have extensive media galleries and robot specifications), or click the "CD-Media" link on the Chief Delphi top banner and do a keyword search for "frcXXX", where XXX is the team number you would like to find pictures of.
