2016-2017 SEASON
THE GAME
FTC matches are played on a 12' x 12' foot field with a 12" wall and foam floor. Each year, the game challenge changes. Every team learns the new game rules on the same day each September. Here is the 2016-2017 game animation describing the basic rules.
DESIGN
Our team uses PTC Creo to create CAD drawings of our robot, including designing custom parts for fabrication. Here are some CAD images from our 2017-2017 robot.
 Our 2016-2017 robot with forklift. |  We began the season by designing a custom chassis. It changed some through the year, but overall it served us pretty well. |  This is a detailed layout of one of our chassis side-rails. Ready for fabrication. |
|---|---|---|
 We used a nautilus cam to draw back our firing mechanism to shoot balls into the center vortex goal. |  We designed this shooter before we ordered a single part for it, saving us time and money. |
