🚀 About Us

Hey! We are Efe and Ethan from team 19516 (a.k.a. The Huskyteers), a couple of robotics enthusiasts who found ourselves bored from sifting through pages of the game manual for every small question we had. That's when the lightbulb went off - let's build an AI Chatbot to do it for us!

We got to work and created the FTC Toolbox, initially just for our team. But guess what? It worked fantastically! It made things so much easier for us that we thought, why not share this handy tool with everyone? And so, here we are, hoping FTC Toolbox can be as much of a game-changer for your team as it has been for ours.

Welcome to our project - we are super excited to have you on board!

🙋 FAQ

Is it 100% accurate?

While we strive for accuracy, FTC Toolbox, like any AI-powered tool, may not always be 100% accurate. It's designed to provide helpful information and guidance based on the data and algorithms it's been trained on. We recommend always cross-referencing with official FTC resources for critical decisions.

Why is it so slow?

We understand that speed is crucial, especially in a fast-paced environment like FTC. The current response time is partly due to our reliance on OpenAI's advanced assistant system, which prioritizes accuracy and comprehensive responses. We're actively working on optimizing this balance to make FTC Toolbox faster without compromising the quality of information. Stay tuned for updates!

Is FTC Toolbox free to use?

Absolutely! FTC Toolbox is a community-driven project and is completely free for all FTC teams and enthusiasts.

Can FTC Toolbox help with specific robot design questions?

Yes, FTC Toolbox can provide general advice and resources on robot design, but it's not a substitute for detailed, team-specific engineering decisions.

How can I contribute to improving FTC Toolbox?

We welcome contributions! You can contribute by providing feedback, suggesting features, or helping with development. Check out our 'Contribute' section for more details.

Can I use FTC Toolbox during FTC competitions?

Yes, FTC Toolbox is a great resource for quick information during competitions. However, always ensure compliance with FTC competition rules regarding the use of digital tools.

What documentation do we use to train the AI?

Centerstage AI uses gm0, gm1, gm2, and Q&A's from the official forum.
