Notes:

Solidworks: A single, all-day workshop, limited to thirty students. Students will learn the basics of this application with the expectation that they will exit the presentation with a project that can be implemented. Exceptions: Students may bring their own computer with an operational version of SolidWorks, though seating will limit the total number of students. By Andy Crick, Spirit Engineering, FRC 4470

Excelling Under Pressure: A hands-on problem-solving project where students take project requirements, plan and build with only the materials available. By Allyson Yarbrough, Yarbrough Associates

Arduino Basics: Using a simple computer control system as pathway to learning the larger FRC RoboRIO system. By Kevin Nakano, Raytheon, LA Audiofile

Game Breakers & Innovative Designs: Using novel, quirky thinking to create and build a robot design outside of convention. By Eric Husmann, SpaceX, FRC 330, FRC 1197, FRC game referee.

Introduction to Robot Programming: Know a little Java or C++ but don't know where to startinprogramming your robot? This course provides an overview of robot C++/Javaprogramming from the ground up, covering control systems, sensors, code structure, development tools, and recommended development best practices. Combined lecture and demonstration.Entry-levelJava/C++ knowledge is recommended but not required (focus of the courseis on concepts rather than code). Peter Johnson, Northrop Grumman, FRC 294.

Systems Engineering: Taking the Game Rules and actually building a winning robot that meets objectives and then requirements. By Ric Roberts, Raytheon, FRC 330

Electronics and Robot Wiring Step by Step: Students will learn how to wire the FRC robot beginning from the power supply, robo rio, modem, and power distribution. Some common sensor and basic motor control will also be discussed. By Marlon Marquez, Northrop Grumman, FRC 1197
