  1. FIRST RoboticsKit of Parts - KoP Seven Rivers Robotics Training December 14, 2013 Duane Lom – Aquinas Mentor

  2. What is the KoP? • A collection of parts given to all teams to use in the construction of a robot • Cost is covered in the registration to a team’s first Regional competition • Word of Caution – each year there are changes to what is distributed and how it is distributed. Information in this presentation may not reflect how the 2014 KoP is handled. Rumor has it there is major change in the drive base system for 2014.

  3. What’s in the KoP? • The KoP contains the parts needed to build a basic structure and additional elements that may or may not be useful in constructing a more complete robot. • Basic Structure– wheels, drive trains, perimeter structural channels and connectors, electrical components necessary to the power drive train. (Most non-electrical elements are in the AndyMarkportion of the kit) • Additional elements for example – electrical components (limit switches, wire, connectors, relays), additional motors, cooling fans, software, game pieces, etc. (Black Tote) • The Rookie kit (Green Tote) contains elements only given once to teams – pneumatic parts, Robot’s on-board computer (cRio), driver station laptop computer, joysticks, extra battery, battery charger, camera, etc.

  4. What’s in (cont.) • Ordering Certificates – Additional certificates are included that allow teams to order parts on an as-needed basis. (Vitural Kit & First Choice) Examples are belts and pneumatic cylinders. Important note – even if your robot design will not need these items, order anyway to build up your parts inventory for future use! • Opt-Out option – Older teams, can opt out of KoP drive train parts and get vouchers to obtain other parts from AndyMark. Younger teams will want to stick with the normal KoP until they have enough parts to build two or more robots.

  5. Delivery and Inspection • The KoP is distributed on the day of the FRC Kick Off. You have a few days to check your KoP to see if any parts are missing. • When picking up the KoP, some items may be distributed individually. • An inventory list is available on-line after the kick off at the FIRST website. • (View Kit Lists – AndyMark Kit, Black Tote, Green Tote)

  6. AndyMark • AndyMark is a for-profit company founded by former FIRST Robotics students to provide parts associated with FIRST Robotics. They have most everything you will need to build a complete robot. Most of the KoP items can be purchased from them if you need replacements or extras. (www.andymark.com) • Most parts have an associated AndyMark part number (am-xxxx) and it is the easiest way to find items in their on-line catalog. • Technical specs for parts can be found on AndyMark along with the company websites of the various parts • First Choice Items
