Introduction Molex is the brand of crimps that we use in ensuring connection between 22 gauge wires. This has been a challenge for some of our electrical students to mastering it is important for our robots power and CANbus.Preparation  The first step in cr...

Troubleshooting Whenever facing unknown problems at comp, the first thing to do is check the match logs and replay them in AdvantageScope. This will likely reveal the nature of the issue you face, whether it be excessive CPU usage or driver error. When...

Overview There are a couple of steps involved with setting up your bot's motors, and this page will cover these steps. Updating ID and Name Updating the ID and name of motors contributes functionally to address the motors in code and organizationally to und...

It's important to make sure the correct code is deployed to the robot before demos to ensure there are no unwanted bugs (secret features) that could jeopardize the quality of the demo. This page will guide you through selecting and deploying the correct branch...

Being able to operate the driver station (DS) is necessary to operate the robot. This will guide you through the things you need to know when using the DS at demos. This is the operation tab. Selecting different modes on the menu at 1 will allow you to swit...

Power Transmission Basics A Power Transmission, for the most part, allows rotational motion to be altered and moved around a mechanism. This allows for a mechanism to be far away from a motor and have more speed or torque than the motor outputs. Think about a...

Overview and Resources: PathPlanner is a pathing tool developed by team #3015 and is fairly easy to use because of its intuitive, visual nature. Here are the docs: https://pathplanner.dev/home.html This page will show you how to effectively use the tool: ht...

Overview and Resources This tool was created by a developer group called Sleipnir Here are the docs for Choreo: https://choreo.autos/ This guide will walk you through how to use Choreo: https://choreo.autos/usage/editing-paths/ This page will be further ...

Plot (pluh): One of the most valuable tools for your tuning endeavors is the Phoenix Tuner plot. The reason this is so useful is that it shows you how much your mechanism is off (in terms of position and velocity) in an intuitive manner. Read through this gu...

CacheCAD is the software we use to manage our files in SolidWorks. Here is how to use it effectively. 1. Installation Use this installation link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BaY2dzd9njdK8UrvhdGPG2ClQ6J_iNNR/view. You may get prompted by Windows Defende...

Overview Pathplanner and Choreo are two solutions to generating paths in the autonomous period, and they are quite similar in many respects. At the time this page is being written (Summer 2025), YETI doesn't have experience with using Choreo. Therefore, it is...

Overview During demos, it's generally pretty important to know what buttons make your robot move. Sometimes, these controls will not be readily available to you in the form of a graphic or a veteran. This page will guide you through how to figure out your con...

Introduction Scouting in the FIRST Robotics Competition is a critical process that allows teams to gather, analyse, and apply data to improve performance in qualification matches and strategize for alliance selection. Effective scouting provides an advantage ...

Overview Using composable functions essentially means ordering commands and paths into autos that are created as commands. This is, after some consideration, what YETI prefers to use to create autos. It is important to note that, while commands are created an...

Overview Making autos can be hard. This page will go over some tips on how to effectively create and improve autos. Tips and Stuff: Initial Orientation and Tag Visibility: So, one afternoon (literally the day we had to pack for world champs lol) in 2025, we...
