Romis are small robots that you program the same way you program the big robots we build for the season. they are a great way to get familiar with how commands and subsystems work. you can read more about romis here. to get started programming a romi, make su...

Drivebases On all of your strategy priority lists, the number one priority should be to drive. This is how to design a drivebase capable of driving well.1. Drive Type Swerve - 4 wheels, 2 motors each (if you aren't 4414) with one for spinning the wheel ...

(intro tl:dr - having a high skill ceiling means you need to get to that skill ceiling. Simple robots can get going faster and are easier to make) In 2025, we made the robot Beluga. Though a capable robot, it had one main problem. It had far t̸͚̮̥͙͓͒̋o̷͇͚̔̆o̶...

This guide discusses setting up the Polar Edge Analytics repository for local development. Prerequisites This guide assumes you have the following already set up (TODO: add references on how to get these configured) Node.js installed; we recommend using n...

Elevators - Goal Tall but Robot Short, What Do? Arguably the most important subsystem to learn for an FRC robot is the elevator, as a solid elevator can make a season run that much smoother. It is typically paired with another subsystem in order to function, ...

Overview IntelliJ is the IDE that we recommend for robot programming on YETI. This page will go over how to use IntelliJ effectively and efficiently. Reading this will make you epic at navigating and organizing your project  Fuzzy Find Fuzzy Find in Intel...

Electrical is an essential subteam to any robotics team. Planning and wiring the robot is pivotal to a successful and connected competition robot.  Here’s how I think of it: Programming acts as the CNS (Central Nervous System) that controls and processes...

This is the fun stuff. Here is a basic FRC Electrical Subsystem: Some of the basic components of the electrical subsystem include: 12V Lead Acid Battery Nominal Voltage: 12V Capable of over 180 amps 120 Amp Breaker Used t...

Throughout our subteam, we use a variety of wires that accomplish different things. The color and size of wires are very important and something that we need to pay attention to.  The CAN wire on our robot is the 20-gauge green and yellow wire.  It conne...

“When in doubt, zip tie it out.”  (Danya Liu 2025) Historically, a LOT of our matches have been lost due to easily preventable wiring issues that turned worse and worse.  So here I write in hopes of it changing in future seasons Routing: The process ...

  Use a “Goldilocks Approach” Too much exposed copper can lead to short-circuiting Not enough creates a weak connection and can come out at the worst time Have someone else pull-test your connections after you have crimped a wire (cross-check)  

Anderson/Powerpole Connectors Great for anything that inputs/outputs power on the robot   10-20 AWG (Powerpole Starter Kit - AndyMark, Inc) The first step in crimping and creating Anderson connections is to strip the wire of its insulation.  We t...

Context: We use these materials: Ferrule Crimper Wire Stripper We use blue ferrules for 22-gauge wire Ferrule crimps are probably the easiest crimps you can do on the robot. However, learning how to do them the right way is essential. STEP 1: St...

Batteries are the powerhouse of the bot, essentially the mitochondria. Crimping and managing these batteries are essential to a successfully running robot that supplies power as it should. I take heavy reference from the Zebracorns (Team 900’s) Battery Pape...

Good practices: Using a battery beak can help determine the battery connection and “charge,” and you’re looking for a “Good 130.” Having 0.02 ohm or less is also preferred. However, you might need several batteries during the competition to...

Scenario Responses: If a battery is suspected not to work as it should, you can disassemble (like we did at World Champs 2024-2025 season) and check the connections, and make sure everything is as it should If a battery is leaking quickly, ...

Probably my personal least favorite part of electrical: Pneumatics Pneumatics: The use of compressed air for quicker and faster movements that a motor can not provide Parts: Compressor Charges air for components on the robot. Pressure Switch Work...
