Hey,
I was wondering if any teams were going to build any kinds of fun off season project. I know 1902 is talking about building maybe a rapid fire ping pong ball shooter or something like that just for fun. I wanted to know what else other teams were working on in the FIRST community.

Team 1902
I think I might get the students to try the slide drive that 148 and 217 did as part of their drive train this year.
I wish you luck. Try to make it easily adaptable to whatever the FTC GDC throws at us. I would love to see it!
it might not work, but I’ve been thinking about trying to make our FTC robot Skype controlled. i was able to do it with a Vex robot, but i don’t how the FCS communicates the Joystick controls over Bluetooth. it would still be cool to be able to play HotShot from anywhere around the world via Skype. thats just a programming project though.
yeah, it would be. From what i hear Atlanta people are having some offseason stuff, the FTA told us he wanted us to come.
We will be hosting a SeaPerch camp (underwater robots) the kits are free at Seaperch.org.
Phil has some great stuff going on with SeaPerch up there!
iirc from the conference in Hawaii, weren’t the kits only free via a grant and even then only to educational organisations or institutions? I may have that wrong though.
i think its free if you give a good reason why it would help out the community and its ran by the navy and i think it was that they wanted to get more people interested in underwater robotics so they give them out for free as a grant. i think that is how it is but not 100% shore
