Machinery - Palo Alto, California, United States
We teach all of our members how to CAD on Onshape and how to prototype in our machine shop using mills, lathes, and over a dozen hand tools. After general training, there are a number of subgroups that members can apply to join based on interest: controls (coding and electronics), drivetrain, CNC, pneumatics, animation, welding, and business. During FRC build season, we have three to four student-led mechanism groups to build our robot. During off-season, we run a number of community outreach projects to spread STEM and the FIRST values.
