FRC 4481 Team Rembrandts | 2024 Build Thread | Open Alliance

Thank you for reaching out with interest in our designs. As enthusiastic members of the Open Alliance, we value transparency and collaboration in our STEAM journey. Our philosophy, deeply rooted in the concept of “teaching to fish” rather than “giving the fish,” emphasizes empowering teams through the sharing of our design processes and ideas.

While we occasionally share partial CAD files and have done so in the past, we typically do not release complete designs. Our aim is to encourage teams to engage with the engineering challenges independently, fostering innovation and critical thinking skills. This approach not only aligns with our educational ethos but also enhances the learning experience for all involved.

We release our full CAD files at the end of the build season to provide a comprehensive resource for reflection and learning. We believe this method allows teams to understand the underlying principles of our designs and apply these insights in their future projects.

We appreciate your understanding and are excited to witness the unique solutions and creativity your team brings to the table.
