Welcome to the Tools of the Trade Homepage! This year, we decided to document our unique methods that we have used on previous robots and put it in this catergory. We also decided to link up some of our team documents and favorite self-help links for other teams to use.

What is Compositing?

"We used compositing to help keep the weight of our 2007 robot: Puff in check when we added the ramps. The ramps were to be used in the matches of the 2007 Rack 'n' Roll game.
