What is Mechanical?
The Mechanical department, more commonly known on the team as Mech, is responsible for designing, CADing, and building the robot. Member of the mechanical department work closely with members in Controls and Strategy to develop a working robot for the season's competition.
Middle School Team Shadowing
Throughout the season, we welcomed students from our neighboring middle school to attend our weekly team practices and introduce them to the core aspects of FTC. During practice, our members taught these students the basics of goBILDA structure, allowing them to get hands-on with building and even contributing to the robot at times. Other times, our members taught them fundamental CAD techniques using Onshape. We want these students to feel like a part of our team as they continue to learn and grow in their FIRST journey.
General Outreach and Summer Camp
The Robo Ravens have run general outreach events where we have invited members from our community and gave them introductions into STEM and engineering. These outreaches have been a great way for the team to give back to the community
