We are a small community team from Eindhoven, The Netherlands. Consisting of members and mentors who've previously participated in FRC, FTC, and FLL. We have members from different high schools in and around Eindhoven, a few students in college/university, and a few full-time working professionals.
Our thread
Since we are a new team that's still developing we’d like to take you with us on our journey.
Over the next few weeks, we will introduce you to our build location, our current team structure, and the different departments and their respective tasks.
During build season we’ll take you with us for the strategizing, brainstorming, prototyping, designing, manufacturing, and programming of the robot.
If you have a question don't hesitate to ask. Topic requests are also welcome!
"Everyone Dreams, but only few Dare to take the next step"
Every team needs a place to gather and build a robot. We rent a space that is completely separate from any of our affiliated schools. Let us introduce you to 'The Haunted House', a space about 320 m2 (3400 square feet) in size. It contains our practice field, kitchen, and workshop, forming a perfect place for us as a team.
The Haunted House is an amazing space for us to build Ghost into a sustainable and impactful team. Let's take a closer look at its 4 main features:
The kitchen:
During the season, members spend a lot of time at The Haunted House, and having a place to prepare and eat dinner is key to keeping our team healthy. We want to have more options for everyone when preparing their meals.
The field:
Part of our choice to rent this space was because it enables us to have a full practice field. This allows us to practice as if our drivers are actually at a regional. We hope to evolve our field with a field border and FMS system.
The workshop:
In our workshop, we have 2 main tables to assemble and work on our robot, a few small machines, and tools. We try to keep this place as clean, neat and organized as we can.
So naturally it’s always a mess here
The work area:
Apart from assembling a robot we also need to CAD, program, and financially sustain the team (among other things). For this, we have multiple rows of tables for us to sit behind our laptops and work on these kinds of tasks.
