AndyMark Will Now be the Source for New FTC Fields and Game Elements



FIRST Tech Challengeis excited to partner with AndyMark on Field and Game Elements for the 2014-2015 Season. 

That means you no longer have to build a practice field, but can purchase one from AndyMark and have it shipped to you after Kickoff (no Team pre-orders!). They will offer teams a full or half field option and each kit comes with the Field Setup elements and Game Elements. Don't worry, you can still build a field if you want to!




But what will they be?

Each year, the Game Design Committee drums up a new element that presents a variety of manipulation challenges for teams to overcome. They've chosen wiffle balls, rings, two varieties of racquet balls, hockey pucks and batons, to name a few.  Since elements are different from year to year, teams must redesign their robots each season to accommodate the new item and the scoring objectives.

What do you think this year's element will be?  Leave your guesses below and go to a kickoff event, or go to www.usfirst.org/ftc/game, Sept. 6th to find out.

FTC Team Purple Gears Awarded a Patent!

Image
Purple Gears Get a Patent! by Rachelle Garbarine Numbers are important to the Cardinal Gibbons High School Robotics Team . None, however, is as memorable as 8,794,386 – the number issued to the team’s first U.S. patent.  The patent, which the team assigned to Cardinal Gibbons, is for a folding forklift. The FIRST Tech Challenge team - the Purple Gears aka Team 2901 - conceived, tested, and built the device as part of its design for the robot it entered in the 2011 national robotics competition known as FIRST (ForInspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Tech Challenge or FTC. That year, the Purple Gears also went to the FTC World Championship in St. Louis.  While it is rare for a high school team to file a patent, the Cardinal Gibbons Team has three filings to its credit. In addition to the forklift patent, which underwent three years of review before it was issued this August 5, the team has filed a second one for a custom treaded wheel; and a third for a ...

Five Tips for FTC Scouting

Image
by Bob Howard, Coach Team #4997, Masquerade ; Paul Bresnan, Coach Team 6433, Neutrinos ; Caroline Bresnan, FTC Alumna, Team #2868, Smoke and Mirrors   Scouting is the art of gathering information about your fellow FIRST Tech Challenge teams and their robots. Knowing your opponents’ strengths and weaknesses is critical for a team’s success. The following simple tips are designed to help your team begin the scouting process. Tip #1 – Visit the Inspection Field As a part of inspection, all teams are required to test their robot on the field. Watching these test drives is a great way to gather information on a team’s autonomous programs and scoring capabilities before the tournament has even started! Be sure to take detailed notes. The practice field is also a good place for pre-tournament scouting. Tip #2 – Print Out the Field Diagram Field Diagrams are great for scouting. Print our several copies per page and use them as a way to draw out autonomous paths. They also come in handy ...
