FRC is a game of mentors. The best teams are guided by mentors who know how to balance on the knife edge of pushing the envelope and achieving success. - Mr. Van [more]
This is a report on testing complete by FRC Team 234 to evaluate performance and power consumption of 2, 4 and 6 CIM, and also 4 CIM + 2 Mini-CIM drives. The 2015 roboRIO was used for data capture.
As part of our beta testing, we used the roboRIO for some drive system evaluation testing, capturing data not available through the 2014 control. We identified an operational effect of one of the control features that we felt would be good to share.
This is the presentation pack from the 2014 CHP Conferences on Continuous Improvement. It includes some theory and several examples of small and large projects.
This short paper describes the mechanical design of Cyber Blue’s 2014 “winch” to play the Aerial Assist game. We are publishing this paper in an effort to help teams that may be struggling with this part of their robot design.
This short paper describes the design of Cyber Blue’s 2014 “ball collector” to play the Aerial Assist game. Much of the design / development work was completed with spare pieces and marker-board sketches. We are publishing this paper in an effort to help teams that may be struggling with this part of their robot design.
This document is meant to be a guide for FIRST Robotics teams creating a business plan for the first time. The plan follows the guidelines identified by FIRST for the Entrepreneurship Award as interpreted by Cyber Blue Robotics, FIRST Team 234.
The 2014 FIRST Entrepreneurship guide asks teams to conduct risk analysis using a SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats). This paper is intended to introduce the concept of a SWOT analysis and provide some basic guidance on how to lead one for your team
Cyber Blue completed acceleration and top speed testing on 3 gearbox reduction ratios to determine and compare the acceleration rates and top speed using each. Gearbox ratios of 5.3:1, 6.0:1 and 7.0:1 were used.
After our first regional in 2013, we faced a tough decision on our disc management design. This paper describes our process for evaluating options, making a decision, and the results of our change.
