The sum total of knowledge students should collectively posses, as a team, in order to build a FIRST Robotics Challenge (FRC) robot...
The robot is an involved system with many parts. There are Mechanical, Electrical and Programming systems.
*required
Merged Concepts:
*Motors: Torque, Time, Speed, Acceleration, Power, Projectile Motion
*Motor integration
*Sensor integration
*Electronics integration
Mechanical:
*Structure support, bracing and fabrication
*Drive train, wheels, bearings, chains, belts, pulleys.
Conveyor systems
Manipulator Systems (end effectors, flippers, twisters)
Impact systems/stored energy (kickers and launchers)
Pneumatics
Electrical and programming:
*Voltages and the Power distribution board
*Motor control and the Jaguars
*CRIO/NXT
*Power Routing, wiring, soldering
*Wireless Networking
Servo motors
Sensors – breakout board,
Rotary Encoders
Photo electrics – line following, object sensing
Gyroscope
Accelerometer
Ultrasonic sensor
Touch Sensor (contact switch)
Potentiometer
Camera Vision Processing
Programming:
*Variables
*If-then
*Loops
*Case Structures
*Initialization
Hierarchy
State Machines
Sample Rate
PID control
It's a big list, but most of it can be handled with hands on training of a few building blocks...
