Learn, Build, and Innovate

This page collects the tools and platforms we use every day to design, program, and compete in both FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) and FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC). Whether you’re a new team member learning the ropes or a mentor looking for references, these links are a great place to start.

🖥️ Development & Code

https://github.com/FRCTeam6533

Our public GitHub hosts code for our FRC and FTC robots, software experiments, and training projects. Team members can explore, contribute, and learn version control with Git.

🧩 Design Tools

onshape.com

We use Onshape for 3D CAD design and robot modeling. Cloud-based and collaborative, it allows our mechanical and design sub-teams to work together from anywhere.

frcdesign.org

A collection of CAD resources, part libraries, and design references specifically for FRC teams. Great for inspiration and sharing best practices.

⚙️ Simulation & Practice

ftcsim.org

A powerful simulator for FTC robot control and game testing. Perfect for testing drive code, autonomous routines, or training new programmers — even without access to the robot.
