Introduction

When Team 610 started over 15 years ago, it was simply a robotics club where students could join together to build a robot over six weeks. Over the years, our team has grown in size and spirit, and has expanded not only within our school, but also into the greater Toronto community. Our team’s passion for engineering has led us to develop handicap-friendly technologies for the children of Sunnyview School, incorporate FIRST-related activities in our school’s many tech design courses, and annually host both FLL and VEX tournaments, to spread our love of FIRST with the community. Beyond our school doors, we have taken on the challenge of mentoring teams with limited FIRST experience. To our team, robotics programs serve as essential factors in bringing people from all grades and cultures together, to collaborate and celebrate the scientific and technological achievements of Canada, and the rest of the world.

Taz’s Scouting Information

Autonomous

• Positioned behind the pyramid, centred
• Can also be positioned at side of pyramid
• Possible 5-7 disc autonomous (ground intake pending)
• Scores 3 discs in 3pt goal – >90% accuracy (3 seconds)

Teleoperated

• Shoots from behind the pyramid, centred
• >90% shooting accuracy in the 3pt goal
• Can drive to feeder station, load 4 discs, drive to pyramid, and shoot them in under 16 seconds

End-game

• Level one hang in 3 seconds
• Can shoot discs while hanging at the back of pyramid
• ~75% shooting accuracy while hanging from level oneDrivetrain
