Hello!
Have questions about joining the team? Please check out our FAQ and fill out this form to be emailed about future meetings!
Pearadox Robotics is a year-round program. For 2019, we are recruiting new team members primarily at the beginning of summer. Below are the slides used at the informational meeting May 28th, 2019. Please use our contact page if you have any questions.
Once you feel like you plan to start attending meetings please do the following:
We do not intend at this time to implement an application to join the team. However, that may change if demand exceeds what we can support. We will work hard to include as many new team members as possible as long as there's an honest attempt to be engaged at meetings (i.e. not playing games on a phone). We will likely naturally have some attrition through the summer before fall training starts, and additional attrition through the fall before build season starts

Not sure where to start? I'd recommend starting either with:

Once you feel like you plan to start attending meetings please do the following:
- Take the Student Registration Survey
- Take the Parent Registration Survey
- When you fill out the above surveys, I will add you as either a full-member (students) or a limited member (parents) to the team slack account. We use slack as our primary form of communication. Parents can be added as full-members if desired, but it's generally more confusing/overwhelming, so parents are typically added as only members of the announcements, general, using slack, and parents channels.
- Check out our Calendar page and start attending meetings (no summer meeting scheduled yet)
- We strongly encourage students to attend Texas Robotics Invitational (time & address in the slides below) on June 29th and the Remix competition (typically one of the first two saturdays of November)
- At this time, our intent is that any Pearland ISD high school student can join the team, effective immediately (so you can start attending meetings immediately). If team size grows too large, we may have to adapt in some way, and I will be as clear as I can when and if we reach that point.
- I encourage everyone to get their own Z.87 Safety goggles (available at your favorite hardware store..most have one that's $5 or less). Put your name on them and don't lose them. Students tend to prefer these instead of these
- $75 lunch/registration fees will be accepted at a later date

Not sure where to start? I'd recommend starting either with:
- Design Concept design.spectrum3847.org
- Or learning how to CAD (Computer Aided Design)
- Download Inventor Professional here (you can get for free as a student/FIRST team member): https://www.autodesk.com/education/competitions-and-events/first/recommended-software
- Download FRC kit of parts on that same site
- Download library from spectrum (cad.spectrum3847.org)
- Go through the CAD slides and tutorial at this site: https://www.team254.com/resources/
- Can also go through tutorials like these, but realize they are for solidworks and not for inventor. The lessons are the same, but the software is slightly different:
Remember in the future to complete
- TIGERS (the form after you do something that helps to improve the team, grow the team/outreach/demonstrations, or education the public about STEAM/FIRST)
- Complete your 5 hours of volunteering with an FLL/FTC team in the district (see the Mentoring page for more)
- Follow these instructions to sign up in STIMS (may not be open until September)
- These forms are for FIRST - not for the school
- Fill out the appropriate school forms for field trips
