I'm am very excited to make a robot but I feel a bit worried.
FIRST to me seems..well, hardcore. Every piece of building this robot from the mechanics, electronics and programming is much over the education that is offered at our school. As the programmer, I am very worried about failing, and not learning labView well enough to make a program.
I was wondering if anyone had any advice for us, something to get us going a bit. We are pretty hard at work attempting to design this thing but we would appreciate some help!  |
Hey Dan,
It's awesome that you guys were able to get the grant and GRR is looking forward to competing with you at FLR. I know one of your RIT mentors named Rob(The really tall guy) is a really nice guy and really knows his stuff. Also, I'm going to offer the opportunity for you guys to come over to Churchville anytime you need anything. Our shop isn't the best, but we have a nice welder and a Bridgeport milling machine and we would be more then happy to help you guys out. We have great mentors across the board so I'm confident we could help you with anything you needed. Don't hesitate to ask! Good luck this year!
