Current Robot
This season's machine
Every season, we take a brand-new game challenge from a whiteboard sketch to a competition-ready robot. Here’s how it happens.
Full specs, features, weight, drivebase, and programming language live on the Current Season page.

Design Process
-
Brainstorming
The team breaks down the new game and sketches out strategies and mechanism ideas together, making a needs-wants-don'ts list to guide priorities throughout the season.
-
CAD
Ideas become a full 3D model of the robot, where every part is designed and checked for fit before anything is built.
-
Manufacturing
Parts are machined and fabricated from the CAD drawings, turning stock material into real robot components.
-
Assembly
Subsystems come together as mechanisms are mounted, wired, and fitted onto the drivebase.
-
Testing
The robot runs on the practice field so drivers and programmers can find problems and fix them before competition.
-
Competition
The finished robot competes at official FRC events, with the whole team supporting from the pits and the stands.
