[FRC 4561](https://www.terrorbytes.org/) hold’s an event a few times a year called MiniFRC, students build 3d printed robots play smaller versions of FRC games! It’s always fun and exciting, and a good way for students to improve their skills.

We held an event on December 16th and I competed with an XRP kit. Just wanted to show the kind of stuff you can do with these little robots! Check out my posts on PestoLink to learn about how I drove the robot with just my phone.

Thanks for sharing this! It’s great to see that teams are prototyping and testing the XRP robots under conditions that simulate bigger events. I found the resources on MiniFRCs to be helpful. Keep us posted on other XRP activities.

I made a V2 of this front loader robot, it is much easier to assemble.

I just published the files for it on [printables](https://www.printables.com/model/724700-xrp-robot-front-loader)

The design is also [free on OnShape](https://cad.onshape.com/documents/05e2298352364700c7f90bc7/w/4585338b548387f80e7a4bab/e/51c39278863ec97a48bcbf45?renderMode=0&uiState=65a6e5b63b530c130573931e).

There is now a tutorial for this robot [live on the XRP website](https://experientialrobotics.org/xrp-front-loader-robot/)!

[I made a dump truck robot too](https://experientialrobotics.org/dump-truck-robot/)!

I absolutely love this! In the middle of our FRC season right now, but this would be an excellent thing to add to our Fall curriculum.
