KitBot 2024 CRESCENDO℠

This kit is equivalent to the FRC Kit of Parts KitBot. In conjunction with an AM14U5 drive train, and two additional motor controllers, these items can create a robot that can play some aspects of CRESCENDO℠. It’s also been designed so teams can build the KitBot and then further iterate on it to add additional features if they choose. Teams will still need basic power tools (drills, saws, etc.) in order to build this robot. 

The options here are configured per what teams can opt in or out of in the KOP. KitBot documentation will be available to all teams, and many of the items from the Black Tote that are used to build the KitBot are components that Veteran teams likely already have on hand or can easily replicate. 

NOTE: While the Black Tote does include two motor controllers we opted to not include them in either of our bundles due to the high cost, and high likelihood that teams will have extra brushed speed controllers available to use. 

Resources that will be made available by FIRST include:

• Build instructions for the KitBot with photos
• Basic code to operate the KitBot as designed in LabVIEW, Java, C++, and Python
  • Software guide for each language exploring the code and possible controls modifications
• CAD drawings of the KitBot
• A guide to describe the process of adding or improving the functionality of the KitBot
• Assembly Videos
