We are FRC Team 5212, the TAMSformers! This is our 10th year competing in the FIRST Robotics Competition. EVERYONE IS WELCOME, with or without experience. We will dedicate the first semester to teaching you guys all about robotics and the engineering process. Everything from mechanical to electrical to programming, we got you covered. We will compete in FIRST in the spring. Even if robotics isn't your thing, you can still be apart of our team. In fact, we NEED you! We have a business and marketing portion in charge of writing award submissions, looking for grants and sponsors, taking photos and videos, and managing our social media. We will also be mentoring various FLL (FIRST Lego League) teams in the Denton area, will be reaching out to help other teams nearby, and working alongside the other sectors of [[Junior Engineering Technical Society|JETS]] in multiple other volunteering projects.

==Competitions==

===FIRST Robotics Competition===
FIRST Robotics Competition is an intense competition for high school students as they build industrial-size robots to complete a challenge and advocate STEM in their communities

===BEST Robotics===
In 2019-2020, the team decided to stop competing in BEST Robotics and focus solely on FRC.

==Sectors==
Robotics splits up the work into Sectors. Each sector focuses on a specific aspect of the FRC competition. Students can participate in as many or as few sectors as they want.

''(Someone please change the sector descriptions into paragraphs, not lists)''

=== Strategy===

*Decide which goals to accomplish and choose between designs

===Design===

*Involves CAD
*Modeling, assemblies, drafting, simulation. CAM
*Interlinked with engineering

=== Engineering===

*Learn about power tools and basic building practices
*Learn how to make different robotic mechanisms

=== Electrical===

*Hand-in-hand with programming and engineering

===Programming===

* C++ for the FRC WPILib Suite

===Business===

*Sponsorships and grants
*Social Media
*Chairman's presentation
*Chairman's essays
* Chairman's video

==Seasons==

=== 2023 ===
The team is planning to do the challenge in the spring, and are conducting workshops and training to prepare for the season.

=== 2022 ===
The team did the Rapid React challenge at FIT Irving and FIT Waco. 

===2021===
Currently, there is no plans for in-person events.

===2020===
Although COVID-19 cancelled most FRC/FIRST events during 2020, our team competed at the first two events, and the only two events ever, held during this season. At our first event, FIT Plano, we ranked 18th with a record of 5-9-0. At our second event, FIT Greenville, we ranked 28th with a record of 3-8-1.
