As Linn-Mar’s only FTC team with team-specific mentors, a major focus for us is introducing new members to FIRST and teaching them new skills. We also make ourselves known to others who are interested in STEM but may not otherwise know about FIRST and the opportunities available near them.
2024 Season Goals
We have gained a lot of experience during the last couple of seasons, and we are applying it this year in many ways:
- Improved Hardware: Our robot design and construction techniques will result in a durable product that can easily be repaired and expanded in the future. We are also designing and prototyping multiple claw/intake designs to have the various benefits of each one readily available.
- Improved Software: We have developed many driver control enhancements and are currently working on using RoadRunner to improve our autonomous movement. We also developed frameworks to write new features and OpModes more quickly and improve the ability for our programmers to work in parallel.
- Outreach Opportunities: We are working with other organizations and clubs to be active in the community and inspire our fellow learners interested in STEM fields.
Our Outreach Opportunities
We have partnered with both our school district and local organizations to participate in and help set up multiple STEAM events, and we have performed successful food drives throughout multiple seasons. We also regularly help the Linn-Mar Robotics program host a series of robotics summer camps for younger students, which are the biggest fundraiser for the program and an exciting opportunity for the campers to learn about robotics and its applications in the real world, see the experiences that they can find in FIRST programs now or in the future, practice collaborating effectively as part of a team, and learning about the world of STEAM in general.
