FRC Team 6905

Tear-A-Byte

The FIRST Robotics Competition: in a 6-week sprint, we design, build, and program a 110-lb industrial robot and compete on a global stage.

Industrial Robots

Our robots run on motors, pneumatics, and advanced control systems.

Engineering Process

We iterate through CAD, prototyping, fabrication, and integration.

Build Season

We go from kickoff to competition-ready in six intense weeks.

Competition Structure

We compete at regional and district events on the road to the world championship.

Features & Design Process

Our FRC robot design process is a collaborative cycle across our CAD, mechanical, electrical, and programming teams. We begin with CAD and engineering design, developing concepts and modeling the robot and its subsystems. Our mechanical team then fabricates and assembles the robot from those designs, while our electrical team installs the wiring, motors, sensors, and control hardware. Once the robot is running, our programming team writes the software that controls its mechanisms and enables autonomous and driver-controlled operation. Throughout, every team works together to test, refine, and iterate the robot for competition.

  1. 1

    CAD & Engineering Design

    We develop concepts and model the robot and its subsystems.

  2. 2

    Mechanical Fabrication

    We fabricate and assemble the robot from our designs.

  3. 3

    Electrical Integration

    We install the wiring, motors, sensors, and control hardware.

  4. 4

    Programming

    We write software for our mechanisms, autonomous, and driver-controlled operation.

  5. 5

    Test & Iterate

    Every team tests, refines, and iterates the robot for competition.
