Summary

Congratulations on completing Stage 1E! With the Stage 1E tasks completed, your drivebase is now fully functional and could even be used as a blueprint to manufacture and assemble one.

Here is a quick summary of what you have achieved in 1E:

  • Practiced adding parts within the context of a robot, making sure to use an intelligent origin
  • Learned the typical workflow for detailing a complex subsystem
  • Learned about battery mounting and the importance of a secure battery holder
  • Learned about core FRC electronics and how and where to mount them
  • Learned how to use the Electronic Mounting Featurescript
  • Optionally learned how to pocket a bellypan
  • Learned about bumpers, how to model them, and the importance of having a secure mounting system

In Stage 2, you will begin to model robot mechanisms using all the skills you have learned and practiced in Stage 0 and Stage 1. This will teach mechanism design, the purpose and correct usage of some COTS parts, and many important engineering concepts.
