Intakes are the mechanisms that allow an FRC robot to reliably collect game pieces from the field or loading stations. Understanding the basic concepts behind intake design helps team members think strategically about how quickly and consistently the robot can acquire game pieces during a match.
This test focuses on the core ideas behind FRC intake mechanisms: how they interact with different game piece shapes, how orientation and centering affect downstream mechanisms, and how design choices influence speed, control, and overall robot strategy.
If you are familiar with basic FRC robot systems, this test should take about 5–10 minutes to complete.
