2019 Fall Project
At the beginning of the school year we used the 2013 FTC challenge, Block Party!, to simulate a build season. Students broke off into teams and built robots to complete different tasks, such as collecting blocks or parking in allotted areas to earn points. This project allowed new members to experience the different roles in robotics and help them get to know other members. Because of this, students became more comfortable and were able to make more contributions in the spring due to their acquired knowledge.

2020 FRC Season - Infinite Charge Ft. Red
For this FRC season, teams had the option of gaining points by shooting through a low goal or high goal. Once a certain amount of points were earned, we were then given the task of turning a control panel to match certain conditions and hanging or balancing on a bar at the end of the round. Instead of focusing on scoring high goals, our robot focuses on consistently scoring low goals, which is more efficient. Our robot also features an extension that can be used to turn the control panel once we have scored enough points.

2020 Spring F4 CADathon - “Game Day” ft. Roman
The F4 CADathon is a bi-annual tournament that is dedicated to the designing aspect of robotics and engineering. Teams are given the prompt of the game every tournament, which then they compete to design the most effective, creative, and detailed robot while meeting all the requirements provided within 3 days, except for the 2020 Spring tournament, which was 7 days long. The challenge/goal of this CADathon was for teams to reallocate weights, to shoot footballs into a designated area, or to do both.
Our team consisted of 3 members, Matthew Wang, Qingyuan Cao, and Jun Park.
2020 Summer CADathon
After a long summer working with our Mechanical Captain Qingyuan Cao, students of his course were put up to the task of designing a robot that could perform a climb or hang. This project gave our students a new opportunity to learn or further their knowledge of CAD. Students were split into pairs and were given 2 weeks to plan and design a fully furnished robot. The final robot designs can be found above.
