Introduction (READ BEFORE POSTING)

Welcome to the FIRST Robotics folder! This is where you can discuss various things related to any FLL, FRC, or FTC competition.

FIRST is about community, as well as learning how to build a robot. This folder is where you can ask for help from other teams, or help someone yourself!

Want to bounce ideas off someone? Need to find the easiest way to make something work? Looking for a casual conversation about the competition?


Just include the following things in your posts:

* If your team is FLL / FRC / FTC
* Your team number
* The location of your team (State is fine)



This thread is here mainly because this year, FRC has an award for using 3D Printed parts on your robot. FTC might have a similar award, but I'm not sure.




Good Hunting!

Wow, FRC now has 3d printing awards?! I'm truly amazed how far the competition has come in the past few years. I remember back in my day, everything was based on glorified RC tech, 27mhz control systems. I remember back when Auto mode was a secondary thought hah! How far things have progressed!
