Welcome to the Resources pages! Under the four subheadings (Getting Started, General Resources, President’s Circle and Links) you will find a wealth of resources aimed at helping FRC teams and mentors, whether you’re a Rookie or Veteran or even a Super- Fan!

Here you will find the basic links that every Rookie team and Mentor should become familiar with when it comes to FRC. Links include a good foundation of outside information as well as a few special edition tips and hints from The Green Machine that we think you’ll find handy when competitions season rolls around.

General Resources

Don't know what to bring to competition? Here's a handy guide for your competition needs.

Your one -stop shop for all things FIRST for the seasoned competitor or mentor (and maybe some particularly diehard fans). Resources include information on how to better manage your team, as well as places to seek out technical and strategic help when the season kicks into gear.

President’s Circle

The FIRST President’s Circle is an ongoing initiative by FIRST president Paul Gudonis to draw upon the combined efforts of FRC teams to identify and present thoughtful solutions to difficult situations. In 2007, the challenge was to present best-known resources for rookie teams to grow into successful long-term robotics teams. In 2009-10, participating teams, which include Team 1816, are working on resources for corporate sponsorships.
