Macro Design: Preparing for the Game Drop is an outstanding resource for anyone involved with the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC). It does a great job of walking the reader through the complex process of building an FRC robot and the many decisions that our team will have to make without making it too overwhelming. What impressed me most was the detail of the book. In a way that is very accessible, the author breaks down all the complext subsystems on an FRC robot: drivebases, lifts, catapults, etc. I was already experienced with FRC when I read this, but I still learned a lot.
