  1. The ChapR Presentation

  2. What is the ChapR? • A remote for translating USB “joystick” input to BT for controlling robots • A way around RobotC/LabView/NXT-G to quickly run programs

  3. DEMO

  4. ChapR Benefits: FTC Teams • Convenient way of testing • Eliminates BT difficulties • Provides easy competition-style driving • Allows teams without access to multiple PCs to test effectively • We have received great feedback so far, both from teams at Worlds and through our website!

  5. ChapR Benefits: Westlake • Experience in product design, development and delivery (marketing, sales, manufacturing etc.) • Chance to give back to the FTC community and spread STEM • Every 4th ChapR is given to a team in need for free • Service hours and experience for Westlake students making ChapRs • Spreading the name of Westlake Robotics • Patent for WESTA (hopefully) • Something to talk about for awards

  6. Plan • Buy parts for 10 ChapRs (20 boards have been ordered) • Set up 3 soldering stations and train 6 people to solder boards (3 of which would be the ChapR team) • Get back in touch with the people who initially showed interest • Send a ChapR to Irad Allen at VHS and David Calkins at Lego Education • Keep in touch with the beta testers and fix bugs if necessary • Give 4 ChapRs to Westlake

  7. What do we need? • $450 total for 3 soldering stations • $1125 total for 15 ChapRs at cost • 5 to reimburse Coach Eric • 10 to build new ChapRs • $750 will be returned after the sale of the ChapRs (minus the 4 that go to Westlake) • A 501(c)3 nonprofit organization to accept funds and legally avoid taxes
