CorpsFMEA your way to
success
Why we do what we do and how things became
what it is.
An all-encompassing look at drive trains that have
been used at their best in FRC.
Basics of the FRC Robot Control system and
components. Rookies / new students and
mentors bring your control system questions. Which language? Which
programming methodology?
Overlooking your pneumatics could lead to an ineffective robot. This
session is dedication to showcase the potential
for great pneumatic systems and manipultors.
This session will help you get the most out of your
competition experience. Get an overview of a FRC
regional - setting your goals, what happens on and off the
field, alliance selection, awards, and qualifying for Champs and State
Social media can be a daunting task. With over
7,000 registered FRC teams, how do you grow your teams presence in the online world? This
session will focus on how to develop social media
content and build community using various
platforms.

Hubs, Alliances and Coalitions
The Importance of Week Zero Events
Drive trains are always the main concern of a
robotics team. However, too many robotics teams don't look deep enough on what manipulators have been used in the past games. (focus on
Game Piece Manipulators)
Learn what LabView is capable of doing from a
Labview Beta testing team
You need to build a robot. Therefore you need to
know electrical: Energy Budget, Components,
Wiring. Learn how to do this the correct way.
Learn how to use the Robot Builder tool to
create a command based robot code platform. Shown with Java but applicable to C++ and
Java.
The most crucial and nailbiting portion of a
competition this side of alliance selections; Jon Stratis has been a Lead
Robot Inspector for many events. His expertise will
help your team prepare for inspections properly.
Whether you are a rookie team, small team, or
urban team, a successful FRC organization relies
on effective communication. This
session will provide tips on how to communicate
with your team members, mentors, and parents
using various tools.
Info Coming Soon
Learn how to build a dominant robot in 4 weeks. 4539 will
showcase how they have perfected the process on
fabricating a multi-regional winning robot as well as the importance of
driver training.
Why every team needs a handbook, some
examples will be given out as reference to make your
own.
An important aspect of the FIRST Competition is
working with other teams. A major part of networking should happen before a regional or competitve
event. Getting your team into a Hub/Alliance/
Coalition can be crucial to the success and survival
of your team.
Week Zero Events are crucial to test your robot
prior to your first regional. There are many Week Zero events throughout MN. The Nevis Week Zero is played on the state's only Andymark
Field. However, attending ANY week zero will better
prepare your team.

This session is geared for teams/mentors/students that are still in their first few years. We will be hosting a roundtable of experienced mentors to answer questions that rookie, first year, and
second year teams face.
In this session, we'll discuss different team structures
(sub-team break down and leadership structure) and
documentation (records of what the team has or has not yet done and how, including
team handbooks and long-range visions) and how
improving in these categories can lead to
increased sustainability.
What are core values? Why are they important for an FRC team? This
session will discuss these questions and provide an overview of one process that can be used to help students and mentors
identify and define their team’s core values.
