Re: General FRC mechanical things

This document helped me out when I was trying to lear some of the physics that relates to an FRC robot.

Re: General FRC mechanical things

The Simbotics website link is a great one.

Another great resource is a website like TheBlueAlliance.net, where you can watch video from past competitions (YouTube also has many FRC robot and match videos). If you watch the Einstein rounds from each season, you can get a pretty good idea of what mechanisms tend to be successful. If you find a robot that you want to learn more about, you can google the team name to find their website (many teams have extensive media galleries and robot specifications), or click the "CD-Media" link on the Chief Delphi top banner and do a keyword search for "frcXXX", where XXX is the team number you would like to find pictures of.

Re: General FRC mechanical things

WELCOME TO FRC AND CHIEF DELPHI!!!!

Like said earlier, a lot of teams provide a bountiful amount of resources on their team websites. If you still have a question, then feel free to ask the Chief Delhi community! There's sure to always be a few people on at any given moment (trust me), and we'd be more than happy to help you! For even more help, click on the buttons at the top of the page labeled "Search" and "CD-Media". The "Search" button will allow you to type in questions you may have, incase someone already asked the question and it's already answered. *Pro-Tip: Check the dates. Things can be outdated and may no longer apply*. By clicking on the button labeled "CD-Media", you can search through the various photos and white papers(REALLY USEFUL THINGS FOR INFORMATION) to get anything you need.

Hope this helps, and good luck in the 2012 season! You're going to LOVE IT!

Re: General FRC mechanical things

Welcome to FIRST. Another useful resource is WPI's think tank. It contains presentations covering almost everything you might want to know for FRC. http://thinktank.wpi.edu/Portal
