Team Ri3D 1.0 has had many setbacks this year and is not able to build a robot. But the core team got together to show you some essential examples from previous years and some inspiration for your team. We also talk about what we would have done for our build.

"Robot in 3 Days" is one part education and one part entertainment. Our goal is to show students an engineering process to use for strategizing, brainstorming ideas, prototyping, and building a functional robot to compete in FIRST Robotics Competition and FIRST Tech Challenge events. Teams often lack mentor support or have low resources. We strive to show methods that can be implemented using easily accessible parts and common tools.
Students: Try to not focus on our designs, but on the methods we use to problem solve. Think about this years' game and ways your team can uniquely approach it. Unsure where to begin? Try creating these prototypes and improve upon them. Have a great idea? Test it out. Good luck!
