INTRODUCTION
1.1
HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE
This guide is intended to be an introduction to the REV Robotics Building System that is being used in FIRST Global. The
goal of this document is to give an overview of the parts included in the system and some example building techniques
which will make building your robot easier. The system itself was designed with flexibility in mind, where every bracket
and part can be mounted in infinite locations along the REV Rails, making it easier to tune your design and speed up
iterations.
There are already lots of examples in this document, but we’re committed to continuing to add content to keep making it
more accessible for people to build with REV.
Feel free to pick out specific sections of interest and read those, there is no need to consume this document in any
sequential method.
