Re: FIRST Classroom Integration

Our elective class is based around FIRST but does not require enrolled students to be on the team, although it is highly encouraged. We also encourage students to only take it once to let others have a chance. We have not gotten enough interest in it to expand to adding more advanced classes. For example a Robotics 1, Robotics 2, etc.

Because of this the students do not help build the robot during build season during class time. They may work on a small off-season project but nothing large scale as we build at a location that is not near the school.

This past semester the class was tasked with building a robot (that conformed to a majority of FRC rules) that could play hockey. I know in previous semesters they have been tasked with designing a robot that could accomplish different task.
