Abstract
FIRST Robotics Competition is a program in which high school students design, build, and program robots for a new engineering challenge each year. Within that environment, robot development requires more than mechanical construction alone, since successful performance depends on strategy, subsystem integration, software development, and continuous iteration. This poster examines how game analysis shaped the robot’s overall development, including design priorities, system layout, material choices, and coding decisions. It also highlights how programming and tuning were used to improve subsystem performance and increase effectiveness in competition. This project demonstrates how the FIRST Robotics Competition can serve as a practical setting for engineering problem-solving, technical growth, and system integration.
