We are the Makers Assemble robotics group from Tichonet High School in Tel Aviv. Our group takes part in the various programs of the world FIRST organization. In our complex other groups operate in the other programs FRC, FTC, FLL and FLL Explore. In addition, our group works for the community, using the knowledge we acquired with the help of the program and with the aim of spreading our vision FIRST For Everyone.

Our team has been operating since 2016 and consists of the students of the senior levels and is assisted by mentors. The team consists of six main teams. Five of them deal with the technical part (mechanics, drawing, software, electronics) and the last one is a community that deals with an equally important part of contributing to the community and marketing of the group in which the whole group takes part.

FIRST Robotics is a non-profit organization founded by inventor Dean Kamen in 1989 to inspire young people's interest and participation in science and technology. FIRST stands for "For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology". The organization hosts several robotics competitions each year for students from around the world to demonstrate their engineering and problem-solving skills.

Our 2023 FRC robot is a highly versatile and agile machine that has been designed to perform exceptionally well on the playing field. The robot is comprised of four main systems: the DriveTrain, Collection System, Spinner System, and Gripper System, as well as a Telescopic Arm System on a Rotation Axis.

The DriveTrain features a Swerve paddle assembled from aluminum profiles and two Falcon engines in each of the swerve modules, offering unparalleled maneuverability on the field at maximum speed without turning along the way. The Collection System is made up of two polyethylene plates and three axles with different wheels for collecting game objects in any orientation, with a chassis made of polycarbonate and aluminum for optimal strength and flexibility. The Spinner System utilizes side wheel axles and a rotary mechanism to center game objects in the robot, and is made primarily of wood. The Gripper System, made of aluminum and polycarbonate plates in the shape of 4bar with Delrin sliding bearings, has silicone castings that hold game objects in place and is powered by a "neo 550" engine with a flow control sensor. Finally, the Telescopic Arm System is powered by a gearbox with two NEO engines and a magnetic encoder for the firing wheel to maintain a constant speed, and is controlled by a "LIMELIGHT" camera for image processing. With these systems working in harmony, our robot is poised to dominate the 2023 FRC competition.

Our code library includes advanced ARGB LED control, allowing you to create custom lighting effects on your robot. You can set individual LEDs to any color, and even create animations using the built-in functions. We've also included special motor classes in our code library to make it easier to control your robot's motors. These classes abstract away many of the low-level details, making it easier to focus on the high-level behavior of your robot. If your robot uses swerve drive, our code library has you covered with built-in support, making it easier to control the movement of your robot.

To get started with our code library, you'll need to have the FRC software development kit (SDK) installed on your computer. You'll also need to clone our code repository and import it into your FRC project. Once you've done that, you can start using our code library in your robot code. Refer to the documentation and examples in the code repository for more information on how to use our features.

We welcome contributions to our code library from other FRC robotics teams. If you have a feature you'd like to add or a bug you'd like to fix, please submit a pull request on our code repository.
