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. |
