Prototype

• Students create various mechanisms to visualize and test out potential robot structures
• Presentations and voting on final designs
• Some common prototypes include: Climbing, shooting, and lifts

Computer Aided Design (CAD)

• Students use Autodesk Inventor to design specific parts and dimensions
• Blueprints for building
• Online drawings allow for easy printing and use during build season

Build​

• Students use machines, tools, and various materials to build parts
• Assemble components of the final robot
• Manage tools and past robots

Strategy

• Come up with game play procession
• Collaborate with other teams during competition
• Create alternative game plans to accomplish all scenarios
