QUICK BUILD DETAILS
All teams attending the Dallas Kickoff are invited to participate in the Quick Build Session held immediately after the kickoff event. This hands-on workshop is led by experienced coaches and mentors of North Texas veteran FRC teams. Teams divide into 3 sub-teams:
  • Electronics Sub-team
  • Transmission/Wheels Sub-team
  • Frame Sub-team
Groups gather task related parts and go to specified room locations. Sub-teams are led step by step through building the basic electronic, transmission, and frame building processes. Last year twenty-eight teams participated in the Dallas Quick Build Session and all teams had a rolling robot by the end of the day. Every team left from the workshop with a printed competition manual. By participating in the Quick Build Session, teams were able to focus the remaining weeks of the build period on strategizing, designing and building the competitive aspects of the robot.
We suggest your team bring the following items to the quick build session:
  • Cordless drill
  • Drill bits
  • Screwdriver bits
  • Wire cutters
  • Wire crimpers
