I am the Chief Roboteer for the VEX Robot Challenge teams at Downingtown. This is a full time job with ~45 roboteers for the 2009-2010 season.
I am also a Senior Mentor for FRC team 1640. My role on the team is Program Management, with the primary task of keeping the build moving forward.
I also work on the following sub-teams:
- Electrical
- Layout and design of the electrical subsystem with the students and then supervising the construction.
- Programming
main()
{
int version = 2;
printf("Hello from DEWBot Robot! Version=%i \n", version);
}
- (Actually we use LabView, but there is not an easy way to show a LabView VI, so you'll have to do with some C code.)
- Mechanical
- (righty tighty, lefty loosey)
- I work mostly on creating jigs, forms and templates used to create the metal parts. Most of these items are made out of wood.
I'm a member of the Steering Committee, I'm the unofficial secretary for meeting minutes.
I've been working with Downingtown Robotics since 2007, I was a mentor on the initial FIRST Vex Challenge (FVC) team - 3150. In our first season we had 5 roboteers.
I started working on the big robot in 2007 as part of the electrical team for DEWBOT III.
I am also one of the leaders of STEMRobotics a non-profit organization with the goal of bringing competition robotics to middle and high school students in Southeastern Pennsylvania and Delaware. STEMRobotics is the sponsor or co-sponsor of VEX events in the area, including the Eastern Pennsylvania Regional Competition.
I'm also the webmaster for this site, contact me about problems.
Contact: DEWBOTROBOT at Yahoo dot com, or me directly at Foster dot Schucker at the domain STEMRobotics dot org. Confused? So are the spam-mail bots trying to figure out the address. Say it out loud, that helps
