# Competitive Robotics

Whether you're joining [Gilmour's Moonshots](https://ga-moonshots.netlify.app/) or a different FIRST Technology Challenge (FTC) team, we hope this guide will ease the process. 

## **Getting Started**

* **Jump In Early:** Don't wait! Attend team meetings, observe our workshops, and get a feel for different roles. Identify areas that ignite your interest and offer your help.
* **Choose Your Path:** Our team operates through various sub-groups, each playing a crucial role in our robot's success:
  * **Marketing Team:** Be the face of the team, recruit new members, manage logistics, and prepare presentations for judges. Hone your communication and organizational skills.
  * **Software Team:** Dive into the world of coding, working alongside hardware engineers and the drive team. Maintain our codebase, troubleshoot issues, and post questions on online forums to expand your knowledge.
  * **Hardware Team:** Design and build robot components using CAD software, 3D printing, and various hand tools. Develop hands-on engineering skills and fix technical issues during competitions.
  * **Drive Team:** Take the spotlight by operating the robot during competitions. Strategize gameplays, execute maneuvers based on calls, and practice extensively to become a well-coordinated unit
