Uncalled-for Resources List
Over the past year, I've been learning as much as I can in all aspects of FTC since some of the older, more experienced members are graduating. I figured it wouldn't hurt to post, if anyone's feeling lost.
Here's my uncalled-for resource list.
Strategy:
- @ BroganMPratt "Brogan M. Pratt" on YouTube. Super awesome coach.
Building:
- REV (Decode-specific): https://www.revrobotics.com/content/technical-resources/DUO/FTC-Kickoff-Concepts/2025-26/2025-26_REV_DUO_FTC_Starter_Bot_Build_Guide.pdf
- GoBilda (Decode-specific): https://www.gobilda.com/content/user_manuals/3200-2526-0001_assembly-instructions.min.pdf?srsltid=AfmBOop7bus44qLbwAl6mucgtX_XY30h4McI35SXm0eBMZOYsTkWCxOV
- Basic Chassis: https://www.instructables.com/FTC-Robot-Chassis/
- u/17097protostars "FTC Protostars" on YouTube
- u/REVrobotics "REV Robotics" on YouTube
- u/ftc21229 "FTC Quality Control" on YouTube
CAD (Onshape):
- FTC CAD RESOURCES PAGE: https://ftc-docs.firstinspires.org/en/latest/cad_resources/index.html
- u/CybotzRobotics "Cybotz Robotics" on YouTube
Coding:
I would suggest Android Studio (coding software) and GitHub (code hub/repository organizing software). This is what my team uses, but that's just because we are familiar with these platforms.
- If y'all don't know how to code, go to FTC's lovely resource page: https://www.firstinspires.org/resources/library/ftc/programming-resources
- If you do know how to code but don't know how to use GitHub, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iv8rSLsi1xo
- If you do know how to code but don't know how to use Android Studio, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubwEU7gZAgg
