Objectives:
In this unit you will work with the GoBilda system and build a Strafer Chassis. This robot will be used for electronics practice, programming exercises in Java, and Roadrunner Navigation exercises. After the FTC Game is released, we will modify the robot design to meet the engineering requirements for the game.
Concepts and Vocabulary:
Robot construction requirements: Simple, Symmetrical, Strong, Standardized
Robot Subsystems: Drivetrain/Chassis, Actuator, Intakes, Graspers, Control, and Power
Building Materials: C Channels, Flats, Brackets, Gears
Bolts and Nuts: Sizes and Tools
Wheel Types: Mecanum
Motor Types: YellowJacket DC Motor
