. Eachtechnology provides teams with the ability to increase the complexity and effectiveness of therobots they design and build. Although there is a significant time constraint on this project, theaddition of rapid prototyping has led to better designed, well-engineered, more efficient, andmore capable robots. These technologies have benefited the design project by not only aidingstudents in the ability to develop more complex ideas, but it has also allowed the program todevelop more difficult course objectives. With this advanced technology and greater ability todesign and fabricate innovative solutions to the objectives, FEH can create more intricate robotcourses in the future without poorly impacting the student success rate in the project.There are
