FRC Mechanisms
A mechanism-first record of drivetrain, elevator, pivot-arm, intake, and conveyor work across competition seasons and off-season development.
Project record
What the work demonstrates.
FRC work is organized by mechanism rather than by year. This makes it possible to follow how a drivetrain or elevator changed across multiple development cycles.
Each mechanism page reserves space for scope, individual contribution, constraints, CAD, build evidence, and results. Team work will be credited precisely rather than presented as individual work.
Show how each mechanism developed across iterations while separating my contribution from the work of the wider team.
Mechanism index
Follow the mechanism, then its iterations.
Each page groups work by mechanical system and orders its development record inside.
Drivetrain
Four development cycles plus a CAD-only compact-swerve branch.

What the next evidence needs to answer.
- 01What changed between iterations of the same mechanism?
- 02Which constraints came from the game, manufacturing resources, or system integration?
- 03What was my specific contribution within the team?
