ME Prof. at MIT
Founded in 2006 we have grown from 1 team and 21 kids to 20 teams and over 350 kids participating in 2016/17.
One basic kit, but different designs for different tasks.
Each year the game changes and so do the robots.
Start with building on a solid frame base, and then add the structural components, followed with programming. Follow the rules in the manual to avoid penalties. You will have help.
Tuesday Sep 26th, 7:00-8:30pm Team formation night and kit hand out. Tue/Thu Oct 3rd , 10th and 12th from 7.30-9pm Teams meet at PLHS commons (no robotics on Oct 5th due to high school conferences). Teams attempt to build square bot. ** Post that the team meets every other Thu for parts and field setup. Thursday Oct 12th 7:30-9:00 pm Game reveal and square bot due Thursday Oct 26th, Nov 9th, 7:30-9:00 pm Parts can be picked up and game field would be setup. Tuesday Nov 21st 7:30-9:00 pm Work night build issues mechanism/programming Teams continue build/refine design/start programming The last two weeks before the competition Tue/Thu Dec 5th , 7th , 12th and 14th 7:30 -9:00 pm Work night programming (and field up) Saturday Dec 16th all day Tournament (King Tec run the event) in PLHS Gym
Practice driving, improve the program and refine the robot.
Time for the competition!
Hosted by KING TeC at PLHS.
Last minute details are worked on, from nuts and bolts to stronger programming.
Two teams are on the BLUE alliance Two teams are on the RED alliance.
Ready?, Set,…PLAY!!
It’s a lot of fun, but it’s only just the beginning!

The FTC Kit-of-Parts.
Just like VEX, each year the challenge changes.
The state tournament was held at PLHS hosted by KING TeC. Winners of this event advance on to the Super regional in Iowa.
2010 FIRST Robotics World Competition in the Georgia Dome, Atlanta. The Prior Lake FTC team, Tempered Steel and their alliance partners, brought home a 2nd Place World Championship trophy.

PLHS students
The FRC Kit-of-Parts changes ever year, though many of the pieces have similar components from the previous years.
(MSHSL sponsored competition)
The FRC robot is much larger, weights 120 pounds and is built in six weeks.
Robots competed in the Georgia Dome and the Pits Area is in the World Congress Center.
