- ORBIT (= Ort Robotics Binyamina Team) was
established on 2005.
- Since 2005 we have participated in every FRC
(= FIRST Robotics Competitions) game (For more
information about FIRST click HERE).
- The team is composed of several sub-teams:
Management team: 2 CEOs responsible for flowing progression of the
whole project.
1 Logistics manager responsible for sponsors'
recruitment and marketing.
Program team: Responsible for the robot's programming.
Construction team: Along with Beth-El factory they are responsible
for construction and
assembly of the robot.
Sketch team: Responsible for the robot's design and sketching.
Strategy team: Responsible for SPEC production and for the planning
of different game
strategies.
- Our work method throughout the six weeks of
the project:
1. Strategy team is producing a SPEC (an explicit set of requirements to be satisfied by the
robot)
in the first few days, built on the specific game exposed in the kickoff.
2. Three conceptual configuration teams (composed of all team members) assemble three
different ideas for the robot's configuration, according to the SPEC.
3. The whole team chooses a final configuration for the robot according to the conceptual
configuration teams' ideas.
4. The different sub-teams start working according to the final configuration.
5. When sketch team finishes its sketches it transfers the sketches to construction team for
production purposes.
6. When construction team finishes the integration between the different parts it transfers the
robot to Program team.
7. Program team uses the robot to create a finished program and a robot that does
everything it was intended to do.
Parallel to program team, the robot's drivers and strategy team work together to simulate
different game situations and prepare themselves to the competition.
8. At the end of the six weeks, the robot is being packed in a box and sent for an
examination to make sure it meets all the game's limitations.
The robot is given back to us only a few hours before the competition, for some final
preparations.
