module 7 of 7
Once your robot drives and scores, the next leap is precision and intelligence: closed-loop control that hits a target every time, swerve drive that moves in any direction, AprilTag vision that tells the robot where it is on the field, and data-driven strategy that wins alliance selection. This module is a deep dive into the techniques that separate competitive teams from the pack, each anchored in a concrete REBUILT case study with real parts (Kraken X60, CANcoder, Pigeon 2.0), real tools (SysId, PhotonVision, Statbotics), and real code. It is ambitious but reachable — this is your roadmap from 'it works' to 'it wins'.
Advanced Techniques & Case Studies closes the Getting Started with FRC guide as module 7 of 7, after Common Mistakes & Troubleshooting. At ~245 minutes across 5 lessons it is the longest module in the guide, which runs about 17 hours end to end.
