Joining FRC Team 6328 – Mechanical Advantage
Mechanical Advantage FRC 6328 is open to student team members who are willing to work hard and commit to the 6328 family. We generally accept students ages 13-18 (grades 8-12) from any school/community in the area. We are a year-round program with a time commitment similar to high level varsity sports and elite club programs.
We are a community-based team and not tied to a particular school or town.
We accept new students in summer and early fall for the competition season that starts the following January. This is because we spend the pre-season summer and fall doing internal trainings, outreach, fundraising, and team bonding activities that prepare the team for the intensity of the competition season.

We have opportunities in the following areas and students are encouraged to explore as many as they are interested in. Previous experience is not required.

In Season (January-April)
The season starts the first weekend of January, when that year’s game and rules are released. The team then designs, machines, builds, programs, and tests a robot to compete in the game, and completes documentation and award applications, all of which is a huge task. Then, the team competes in 2 New England district weekend competitions starting at the end of February/beginning of March. Based on the results of those competitions, the team could be invited to compete at the New England District Championships in early April and the World Championships in mid April.

Through build and competition season, the team will generally have work meetings four evenings/week, and a full day on Saturday, plus additional short online planning meetings. Students are not expected to be at all work meetings, but are expected to be working in the shop a minimum of twice/week. The students who get the most learning and growth out of their time with FRC 6328, and who take on leadership responsibilities, are at the shop for many of the work meetings during build and competition season. Each student will be assigned to two subteams. Commitment to attend the New England weekend competitions is also required.
Off Season (May-December)
“Teams are built in the off season!” While things do quiet down during the off season, the team is still working hard. This is the time we focus on outreach, fundraising, training, organizing, our FLL program, and everything else that needs to happen so we can hit the ground running in January.
