1. Define ProblemState a well constrained problem, one that you can solve and document on this page. Clearly state what the problem is, explain why it is important to solve, and describe the benefit to finding a solution.
2. Specify RequirementsList and describe the requirements that a potential solution to the problem must have. This may include performance numbers, the method of use, accessibility, or size constraints.
3. Identify SolutionsDescribe solutions that solve the problem and meet the requirements. This may be a physical description, a code outline, a page layout, a numbering system, etc. This section should describe IMPLEMENTATIONS in detail.
5. TestDescribe the methods you used to validate your solution against the requirements during and after development. Explain how you measured success, and what those measures were. This is not necessarily a numeric measure.
6. RefineFirst, state a brief conclusion of what you present. Then, state next steps for the result solution. This may be a need to monitor, maintain, or re-evaluate in the future. Capture the how this work fits into the “big picture.”
4. DevelopExplain what evolved out of the solutions you identified, the unforeseen problems you encountered, and how you reached your solution. This section is descriptive, and should include images or diagrams.
How to Stay Sane as a FIRST Team
FRC 2789
FRC 2789 - Standard A3 Report04/13/2023
Step 1: Define ProblemState a well constrained problem, one that you can solve and document on this page. Clearly state what the problem is, explain why it is important to solve, and describe the benefit to finding a solution.
The Problem:
FIRST is a demanding, multifaceted competition.
Building a team that can build robots & that is about “more than the robot” is very hard!
FIRST attracts talented, overcommitted people.

SHARED CHALLENGES & REQUREMENTS
- CULTURE: Strong mentor-student relationships; Positive team culture; Engages wide variety of students
- PRODUCTS: Competitive robots & awards submissions
- MONEY: Financial stability
2. Specify Requirements
List and describe the requirements that a potential solution to the problem must have. This may include performance numbers, the method of use, accessibility, or size constraints.
REQUIREMENTS UNIQUE TO OUR PROGRAM
- Only varsity sport on campus -> high academic & behavior expectations inside & outside Robotics
- No on-site machine shop
- PBL instruction school-wide means that Robotics is not the only hands-on gig in town

Potential Solutions:
1 – Quit FIRST; opt for something cheaper and easier2 - Focus only on the robot at the expense of team culture3 - Focus only on team building at the expense of the robot4 – Delegate, communicate, and solve problems
3. Identify Solutions
Describe solutions that solve the problem and meet the requirements. This may be a physical description, a code outline, a page layout, a numbering system, etc. This section should describe IMPLEMENTATIONS in detail.
