Resources
Resources commonly used by the team are software packages like SolidWorks for design and LabView for programming.
Materials come from various suppliers, like AndyMark, ACE Hardware, and Grainger.
Electronics are supplied by a multitude of sources and are mostly supplied in the "Kit of Parts" (K.O.P) provided at the beginning of the season. These include the "brain" of the robot, the National Instruments cRIO, which we program currently through National Instruments' LabView. We are looking into possibly using C++ next year.
Our 2011-2012 Handbook guides us into the new season.
