FIRST Technical Resources — Official FRC Training Library

Source: https://www.firstinspires.org/resources/library/frc/technical-resources Authority: Official FIRST Inspires resource library Purpose: Canonical training references for FRC students and mentors


Why This Matters

This is the official FIRST-endorsed training resource list. When 2890-claw doesn't have a specific training module, these are the go-to references. Think of it as the textbook spine for FRC education.


Mechanical

  • Prototyping 101 — Core prototyping principles and methods
  • TCA Worksheets — Mechanism design, manufacturing planning
  • Common Bolt Sizes Guide — Reference for standard fasteners
  • Suggested Tools List — What your team actually needs
  • NASA RAP Robotics Design Guide — Design methodology from NASA
  • ReCalc — Engineering calculators
  • AMB Robotics Calculator — Specific robotics calculations

CAD

  • Design 101 — Foundational CAD design principles
  • 973 RAMP Videos — Sketching and linkages (Team 973)
  • SOLIDWORKS Student Design Team Tools — Official SOLIDWORKS resources

How to Use This in Training

  1. Level 1 students → Start with Prototyping 101 and Suggested Tools
  2. CAD track → Design 101 + 973 RAMP videos before anything else
  3. All tracks → Bookmark this page as the canonical reference
  4. When unsure → "What does FIRST's official resource say?" is always the right first question
