Hi all,

First of all, I apologize if I put this in the wrong sub forum or this has already been asked before.

I'm part of one of the oldest teams (#8) in FRC. You would expect us to have a reasonably well-developed team, but we don't. The team has undergone a couple of leadership changes and it has made us essentially a rookie team this year. On top of that, this is my first year on the robotics team and there isn't a very good way of training new students. I have done my best to learn as much as possible this year, but there are still so many things to be learned. I'm asking anybody that sees this to submit their favorite resources for information on the technical aspects of FRC (pneumatics, types of drive trains, any math related to why certain thins work better than others, lists of terminology, "best" parts suppliers, etc.)

I was recently looking at a thread about the physics of turning and why (mathematically) drop centers allow for faster turning. I'm sure there are more resources like that out there but I'm having difficulty finding them. If anybody else knows of absolutely anything (it could be as simple as how to attach a battery to a motor) I would love if you posted it.

Thanks so much in advance and I'm truly sorry if this is the wrong place to post this.

TL;DR- post any robotics learning materials that you have that I could begin to learn and master in the off season.
