At the start of the season, the Quantum Leapers hardware team set a strong foundation by developing a comprehensive game plan. They explored various concepts for the robot's intake and outtake systems before finalizing a design that suited their strategy. For the next month, the team worked diligently in Onshape, refining the robot’s build to align with their vision. This dedication paid off when they successfully completed their first league meet robot, which performed well and adhered closely to their game strategy. With most of their final robot design complete, the hardware team is prepared for the challenges ahead.
In FTC, Hardware CAD involves using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software to design the physical components of the robot. Teams create detailed 3D models of their robot to visualize and plan their structure before building. This process ensures that all parts fit together correctly, optimizes the robot's design for performance and durability, and allows for precise measurements and testing of mechanisms virtually.
Hardware Game Logic in FTC refers to how the robot's physical design and mechanisms are tailored to interact with and complete the specific challenges of the game. It includes planning how the robot will pick up, move, or manipulate game elements, as well as aligning sensors, motors, and actuators with strategic goals. This logic bridges the gap between the game rules and the hardware's functional capabilities to maximize scoring potential.
