Welcome to the official page for the 2012 Connecticut Kickoff. Below you will find all powerpoints and handouts from the workshops after this years kickoff.

Team 178 would like to thank all the teams that attended this years FRC build season kickoff!

   

Workshops that were held:

  • Consensus building/decision-making - Improve your team's design process in a way that can apply to all aspects of your team.  This fresh approach to building your robot while building your team will be presented by CT FIRST's Sonya Jelks. Thank you Sonya!
  • Programming Your Robot with Java - Team 178 will present what they have learned about the new FRC Java API as a FIRST Beta test team. They will walk participants through tank drive code in Java.  Bring your FRC laptop. Click here to download the powerpoint from this workshop.
  • Dream FIRST - Team 178 will share our award-winning community outreach initiative, designed for children ages 3-10. Learn more about how your team can run an event to bring the excitement of science and technology to the very young, while also introducing them to FIRST. Possible benefits for your team include engaging a broader range of students on your team, outside of the scope of robot building. In addition, it would build interest in JFLL teams in your community and spread the message of FIRST. Click the links to download files from this workshop: Powerpoint ; How-To-Guide
  • Introduction to CAD using AutoDesk Inventor - Team 178 will teach you how to create models ready for fabrication using the powerful features in AutoDesk Inventor. This will be a very hands-on session! Click the links to download files from this workshop: Workshop Information ; PLTW Inventor Tutorials
