       Show HN: High school robotics code/CAD/design binder release
        
       Hello HN!  My name is Patrick, and I am a junior at my High
       School's FRC robotics team FRC 341 "Miss Daisy" (yes named after
       the movie). Every year, during the first weekend in January, a new
       robotics game is released (no it's not battlebots). The game could
       be about launching balls into a goal, climbing monkeybars, or
       placing cubes on a see-saw. This year we were challenged to build a
       robot that could shoot orange foam donuts into a goal about 6 feet
       in the air. Here is a yt video with the game animation
       https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9keeDyFxzY4&t. After we received
       the game we then had six weeks to design, build, program, and field
       a robot capable of playing the game. And we did pretty well this
       year! I have attached a ChiefDelphi thread (robotics forum) where
       we have released our season materials. This being our CAD (3D model
       of robot), code, and design binder. I encourage you to take a look
       and leave any questions that you may have.  Thanks a lot!

       | I haven't read through the binder yet but I appreciate you cross
       | posting this to HN because the work many FRC teams do is
       | excellent for a bunch of high schoolers and deserves more
       | visibility.
       | 
       | Good luck, next season is just around the corner.

         | That would be really cool! There was something kind of like
         | that in 2010, you had to score soccer balls in goals. But there
         | were these obstacles on the field and poles you could climb at
         | the end for extra points. It was called breakaway.

       | Incredibly exciting that you can do this!

         | I'm in my mid 20s and FRC was probably my favorite high school
         | memory. From the community, to the challenges, to the robots
         | you get to participate in building. It's such a cool program.
         | 
         | Hopefully it gains higher adoption among other public schools,
         | FRC was foundational to my SWE journey

       | local program in your area. I've mentored Team 812 in La Jolla
       | California for about 14 years. It's incredibly rewarding.

         | Btw, congrats to the OP and team. Proud of yalls work!
