Robotics Tutorials

[IanW]

This summer I wrote a few tutorials on the website Instructables about the technical aspects of building a robot. The five tutorials are meant to help teams that have graduated a strong group of seniors rebuild and relearn the knowledge they need to build a competitive robot.
The tutorials are:

• Motor and Gearbox Design
• Introduction to Manipulators
• Control System Basics
• Implementing Manipulators
• Making 2-Speed Custom Gearbox

I made these tutorials as part of an internship at Autodesk. This is just one example of how they have really stepped up their involvement with FIRST at their Portland office within the past few years.
I hope you find them informative, and thanks for checking them out!
