Parts of a Robot

This page will walk through the basic components that make up a full robot assembly from the top level down to the bottom

Robot

There is always one robot. FRC is a competition where we compete with exactly one robot per competition. This one robot may change throughout the season leading to multiple versions with different components, but there will be one that we take to competition.

Subsystem

A subsystem is a collection of mechanisms that work together to achieve a distinct and specific function towards the end goal of scoing points.

Assembly

An assembly is a subset of parts and pieces that get put together before being merged into a subsystem

Part

A part is an individual component, manufactured or purchased, that goes in to the robot.
