Best of Robot in 3 Days 2024 - FRC CRESCENDO - Team Ri3D 1.0

This year, 22 teams took time to build a Robot in 3 Days. Team Ri3D 1.0 got together to take a look at some of the best and unique ideas that came out of the 2024 FRC build. We also introduce some lessons learned by the teams and some additional recommendations as you build for 2024's FIRST Robotics Competition challenge: "CRESCENDO"

"Robot in 3 Days" (Ri3D) 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!
