  1. Team 1985 Robohawks A Systems Engineering Approach to their Rookie Year Dan Robinson, Mentor

  2. F.I.R.S.T.For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology Vision "To create a world where science and technology are celebrated... where young people dream of becoming science and technology heroes" Dean Kamen, Founder Mission  FIRST designs accessible, innovative programs that build not only science and technology skills and interests, but also self-confidence, leadership, and life skills. Gracious Professionalism Gracious Professionalism is part of the ethos of FIRST. It's a way of doing things that encourages high-quality work, emphasizes the value of others, and respects individuals and the community.

  3. 2007 F.I.R.S.T. Overview • 2007 Programs • FIRST Robotics Competition for high-school students • FIRST Tech Challenge for high-school students • FIRST LEGO League for 9 to 14 year-olds • Junior FIRST LEGO League for 6 to 9 year-olds • FIRST Place for ages 6 to adult • Overall Reach • 130,000 students • 10,709 robots • 37,000 mentors • 27,000 event volunteers • 2007 FIRST Robotics Competition • 1,307 teams • 260 rookies • Over 32,500 high-school students • From 7 countries: Brazil, Canada, Israel, Mexico, Netherlands, U.K., U.S. • 37 Regional events in Brazil, Canada, Israel, U.S.

  4. The Game – Rack and Roll (Requirements) • Two Methods of Scoring • Hanging Game Pieces or “Ringers” and “Keepers” on the Rack • 15 sec Autonomous mode score Keepers • 2 min Operator Mode score Ringers • Spoilers can only negate Ringers/only game piece that can be removed and replaced on the Rack • Elevating Alliance Partners off the Ground - Roll onto Ramps • 4 inches = 15 point Bonus • 12 inches = 30 point Bonus

  5. The Playing Field Game Piece The Rack Three Robots for “Blue” Alliance Three Robots for “Red” Alliance

  6. Cost (Value of Robot not to Exceed $3500) Bill of Material Website Digital Design Control Logic/Software Safety Animation Community Outreach Fundraising Rules Point Penalties for many infractions of rules Disqualification of Robot or Team Power Cut-off for Safety Weight/Height/Size Limits 39 X 27 inch 4 ft, 120 lb 5 ft, 110 lb 6 ft, 100 lb Additional Requirements

  7. Demanding Schedule • 6 weeks from Game Reveal (RFP) to Hardware Deliver • Requirement Shredding • Design • Build • Hardware • Software • Test

  8. The Team’s Approach • Scoring Options • Able to Score on all Three Levels • Autonomous Capability • Provide Ramps to Lift 2 Alliance Members 12.5 inches off Ground • 4 ft, 120 lb • High Speed Chassis (Compromised to Medium Speed due to weight limitations)

  9. Systems Engineering Approach • Use of Teams • Assigned Weight and Cost Budget to each team • Tracked Weight, Schedule and Cost as well as Performance • Daily Logs • When Problems Occurred they were Identified Early and Addressed

  10. Teams Design Options • Genie Lift Mast with grasping “Claw” • 4 Motor Drive all Wheel Drive (Reduced to 2 Motors) • 2 Deployable Ramps with Extending, Gravity Assist Tilting and Lifting • Use of Light Seeking Sensor CMU Camera for Autonomous Scoring

  11. Team Organization • Coach – Physics Teacher • Mentors – Boring Engineer types and Parents • Team Captain - High School Senior • Sub Team Leads • Chassis • Mast • Ramp • Claw • Software • 3-D Solid Modeling/Design • Website • Documentation • 35 Team Members - Students

  12. 3-D Solid Model of In Theory

  13. In Theory on the Field

  14. Scoring on the Rack 8 in Row = 256 pts Red Score = 264 Blue Score = 38 5 in Row = 32 pts 2 in Row = 4 pts Individual = 2 pts 3 in Row = 8 pts 4 in Row = 16 pts 6 in Row = 64 pts 7 in Row = 128 pts

  15. In Theory on the Field

  16. Ramp Operation

  17. Deploying Ramps

  18. The Rookie Year Results • St Louis Regional Competition • All Star Rookie Award (Qualified Team For Nationals) • Qualified in Top 10 (9th place) and Chosen By #7 Alliance • Lost in Quarter Finals • Boilermaker Regional • Won the Delphi “Driving Toward Tomorrow Technology” Award • Chosen by #5 Alliance Team (5th overall Pick) • Lost in Semi Finals • National Competition in Atlanta • Team had a Great time and Learned a lot

  19. At Nationals Deploying Ramps In the “Pits”

  20. In Theory In Action
