Engineering excellence through iterative design, testing, and competition.
For our rookie season, we designed and built a robot capable of competing in the INTO THE DEEP challenge. Our design focuses on reliability, scoring efficiency, and a strong autonomous routine.
We follow an iterative engineering design process to develop competitive robots.
We begin each season by thoroughly analyzing the game manual, studying game elements, and researching mechanisms from other teams and engineering resources.
The team brainstorms multiple approaches for each robot subsystem. We sketch concepts, discuss trade-offs, and use decision matrices to evaluate ideas objectively.
Selected concepts are modeled in CAD software to verify dimensions, interference, and center of gravity before any physical parts are made.
We build rapid prototypes to test mechanisms and validate design assumptions. Prototyping helps us fail fast and iterate toward better solutions.
Final robot assembly brings together all tested subsystems. We focus on build quality, wire management, and maintainability for competition readiness.
Continuous testing and refinement throughout the season. We log performance data, identify weaknesses, and make targeted improvements between competitions.

Our engineering notebook documents every step of our design process.
The engineering notebook is a critical part of the FTC experience. It chronicles our design decisions, meeting notes, testing data, and outreach activities. Judges review notebooks at competitions to assess the Think Award, Design Award, and other honors.
We maintain a detailed portfolio that captures our team's journey from kickoff to competition. Our notebook includes CAD screenshots, test data, code snippets, and reflections on what we learned throughout the season.
