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 have also mounted both a claw and an active intake to have the benefits of each one readily available.
- Improved Software:Our Autonomous OpModes are now powered by RoadRunner. New driver control enhancements this year (coming soon) will include acceleration control, buttons to move the arm to the right positions for grabbing and hanging game elements, easily customizable control schemes to suit the preferences of different drivers, and more.
- 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 and clothing drives throughout multiple seasons. We also regularly help the Linn-Mar Robotics program host a series of STEAM-focused 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. It also helps them to see the experiences that they can find in FIRST programs now and in the future, practice collaborating effectively as part of a team, and learning about the world of STEAM in general.
