Resources Overview

The AdamBots put together many resources for other FIRST teams. Here you can find links and explanations of the contents of our resource pages.

	Yearly Rule Summary One of our mentors, Rick Drummer, creates a summary of Game rules for the new FIRST Season. This page contains summaries for all FIRST games from 2012 to the present year.
	Training One of our mentors, John Savage, has created technical training summaries useful for robot design.
	Business Plan The business plan, developed by our Project Management Team, helps us ensure sustainability, continuity, and impact as a FIRST team.
	Chairman’s Award Submissions The Chairman’s Award is FIRST‘s most prestigious award. We dedicate an entire subteam to the pursuit of this award, and they produce significant materials for it.
	T-Shirt Cannon The AdamBots built a T-Shirt cannon for the Adams High School Staff to use at Sporting Events, Pep Rally’s, and other Events. The Cannon is very satisfying to shoot and has enough power to shoot over the stands during Football games. The Link above is for build and operating instructions for other teams to build their own cannon.
	Pit Presentation Tool The AdamBots have used a Touch Screen based pit presentation tool for many years. This link takes you to a page with an explanation of how it works and offers both Power Point and PDF versions of a sample demonstration tool.
