Core Texts (Library)

Canonical references every subteam should know. Tie each to how your team actually applies them.

  • NASA RAP Design Guide — Mechanics, power transmission, linkages. (nautilus.fs.uni-lj.si/rodicar/seminars/rap_design.pdf)
  • FRC Design (Onshape-centric) — Master sketches, modern CAD best practices. frcdesign.org
  • Spectrum MCC & Resources — Minimum Competitive Concept philosophy and mechanism library. spectrum3847.org/resources
  • Compass Alliance — General playbooks and team ops. thecompassalliance.org

How to use

  • Assign required reading per subteam; summarize how you apply each text locally.
  • Keep a short “core definitions” list (drivetrain terms, MCC, C-C distance, pressure angle).
  • Link back to your Standards and Blueprints where these are enforced.

Checklist

  • Core texts linked and accessible
  • Team-specific notes on how you apply them
  • Glossary of shared terms maintained

Add: brief Team2180 notes on how/where each is used, and season-specific excerpts.
