FIRST website: www.firstinspires.org/robotics/frc  There’s a ton of great info here, including:

 

Nov 2014 SCRA – FRC Workshop Day Presentations 

Chief Delphi Website – This website is maintained by Team 48 Delphi E.L.I.T.E. and has topics covering everything from the most basic introductory questions to incredibly advanced topics.  If you have a question, someone on this world-wide forum will likely be able to help you.

Steel City Robotics Alliance – The “Steel City Robotics Alliance” was created to allow area robotics teams to share resources and information. “We are by the teams, for the teams.” SCRA fosters communication and camaraderie between FRC teams in SW PA and beyond. Join SCRA to participate in their email group, and check out their “Resources” link, with presentations from SCRA Fall Workshop Days since their creation in 2010.

Note from Patricia: Even though it’s called a practice field, you don’t have to have a working robot to visit, especially during build season. It’s a great place to get help and advice in addition to practice. Thanks to FRC Team 3504 – the Girls of Steel – for hosting & running the field, and opening it to FRC teams across the region. Very much appreciated!
