Indexers are the mechanisms that manage the flow of game pieces inside an FRC robot, guiding them from the intake toward the next subsystem—whether that is a shooter, lift, or stacking mechanism. Understanding basic indexer concepts helps team members think about spacing, timing, and how game pieces are positioned and delivered during a match.
This test focuses on the core ideas behind FRC indexer mechanisms: how they move and regulate game pieces, how they work with different intake styles, and how design choices influence consistency, throughput, and overall robot strategy.
If you are familiar with basic FRC robot systems, this test should take about 5–10 minutes to complete.
