By: Austin Y, 1st Year Sophomore Skills that we use in FRC in order to develop robots can be used in all aspects of life. For example, the development process that our team uses can be applied to any project in the future. Every project needs planning, teamwork, and effective communication. Being in robotics helps future designers and programmers to learn how to efficiently and effectively develop and plan projects. Inspiration to join robotics can come from many sources, from something like seeing a FIRST robotics competition or even something as simple as playing a game you enjoy. We live in a society that runs on code. Computers, smart phones, and the internet are all great inventions of the 21st century that define our society today. Through the modernization and development of technology, the integration of code allows each individual person to create and implement their own ideas. During quarantine, since people were unable to talk to each other in person, a game known as Among Us became popular. Among Us was developed in 2018 by Innersloth, and was inspired by the popular party game Mafia. The game is similar to Mafia, where there are different roles for the characters. In Among Us, there were originally 2 roles, the impostor and the crewmate, since the game is set in space. Innersloth’s continuous updates led to its popularity greatly increasing due to continuous updates and mods. Like many other games, Among Us was written in C# using the Unity Engine. The Unity engine is a popular engine for many programmers who are game designers. C# is a language developed by Microsoft in order to rival the Java development language. The origin of many coders starts here. They are inspired by something they see, anything they see, that has been made with code. For many people, games like Among Us have inspired them to become interested in coding. As they become more skillful in coding, their confidence expands, leading them to join local events related to coding such as FIRST. Today, Among Us is one of the most popular games in our generation. It motivates people to create for the game, which inspires many future programmers and designers. Childhood experiences such as gaming can lead to the development of an inspiration that can lead them to join FRC and live fulfilling lives.
