DIVE into the Season with Starter Robot Designs and Other CAD Resources!

With the INTO THE DEEPSM presented by RTX Kickoff behind us and the build season underway, robot designs are starting to take shape across the community. Many teams will make use of starter kits from various suppliers to build their competition robots for this season. We are excited to share that these suppliers have also been hard at work and are now ready to present Starter Bot concepts able to play INTO THE DEEPSM at a basic level using the components from their starter kits!

We invite teams to visit the Robot Building Resources page which lists the available Starter Bot designs under the “Build Guides” heading. We want to stress that these are not meant to be highly competitive concepts, but rather designs that are easy to start working with using your starter kits and minimal additional resources. Please enhance, improve and iterate on these designs to take your competition robot to the next level!

Please join me in thanking the following suppliers for their work to set up Starter Bot designs & resources for INTO THE DEEPSM !

  • AndyMark
  • goBILDA
  • Pitsco
  • REV Robotics
  • Studica

But wait, there’s more! On the same resource page teams will find access to free CAD software platforms to use while designing robots and enhancing the available Starter Bot designs! The materials on this page are continually being refined and updated, so please be sure to check back regularly if you don’t find what you are looking for right away.

Good luck, and we will see you at the competition!
