Re: A Little Thought Experiment

"best robotics" or "Best FRC robotics team"

I would turn it into a Class students can take for credit - A PLTW type class. In the class, you would learn about the mechanisms that go into a typical robot, brainstorming, prototyping, CAD, and have them build simple projects. Stuff that would help then in the real world. If there is enough material for a full year class, then the actual competition could be part of the class.

Separately, I would have the AP programming class spend the month after AP Tests (May) learning how to program the RoboRio, WPILIb, Github, etc.

In the feeder schools, build FLL and FTC programs. Maybe a Math/Science Elective for the Junior High School level.
