Engineering Design – Level 4 Participant Name FRC Team #

Identify Challenge Given a design challenge, the participant will design a robot subsystem to meet the challenge. The design may not include robot components/operations that may violate additional rules, eg. violating the perimeter of another robot, damage game pieces, etc.

Iteration Given a design challenge, the participant applies all steps in the design process including many cross steps returning to previous steps eg. making a prototype of a brainstorm leads to new brainstorming.  The portfolio reflects the final work as well as the iterated designs

Brainstorming Given a design challenge, the participant fully develops multiple (more than four ideas) themes with a wide variation.

Concept Analysis Using the robot subsystem and the designs developed in previous steps, the participants explains how motions of the robot will be physically possible and not conflict with each other.

Game Using the selected robot subsystem, calculate torque and speed of motor/air cylinder needed, with any mechanisms for mechanical advantage, to accomplish tasks..

Calculations Using the selected robot subsystem, determine gears/sprockets/etc. needed to go from motor speed/torque to the force/speed needed to accomplish tasks.
