I'd like to contribute more to the team next year, but before I do so, I feel I need to know what I'm messing around with in FRC. Are there any help with this?
What I'm looking for (but not limited to) is along the lines of:
- How do CIM works?
- What are encoders?
- What are commonly used motors in FRC? And
- How do they work (what is their function)?
- What are some necessary engineering terms I need to know (colson, casters, etc.)?
- What are some important formulas?
Generally, everything I need to know about designing a robot.
Thanks!
