From Team Goa To Team India

My team has been selected to participate in FIRST Global Challenge which is a US-based nonprofit public charity established by the founder of FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), Dean Kamen. THEIR MISSION is to inspire leadership and innovation in youth from all nations by empowering them through education in STEM. FIRST Global brings future STEM leaders together in a collaborative competition, using robots to instill self-confidence, skills, imagination, courage, and vision in kids, emphasizing the importance and excitement of STEM education.

Team India, a group of five talented students, is honored to represent their diverse and culturally rich country at the prestigious FIRST Global Challenge in Singapore. Their journey started with Team Legogoa, a parents-led community club dedicated to robotics, which has been making waves in the field for the past six years.

Amidst tough competition, the team’s innovative contraption that flung a tennis ball 27 meters using projectile motion earned them the privilege to represent India.

My Learnings from FTC

In my journey, in FTC I learned many things and came across many different challenges.

Before I had some minor knowledge of using Fusion 360 but I learnt a lot more during this competition. As the only 3d Designer in the team I had to design many of the major parts we needed for the competition. Here are a few of the things that I designed. Battery Holder To hold the battery to our robot, we needed a holder to store it and help us attach it to the robot. To start, I took the battery measurements by the scale and created a sketch to be the base, then extruded the walls and the base. I made a slot for the wire of the battery to be able to come out.  With the rough design of the battery holder down, I started the refinement of the build and filleted down all the sharp edges. However, if I were to re-design this part, I could count this step as a mi...
