Session Details Approved

Event: 2026 Purdue West Lafayette Forums

Description
AI tools are showing up across FRC teams in ways nobody has standardized yet: sponsor research and outreach messaging, base code and troubleshooting, training material for new students, scouting analysis, and plenty of dead ends. This session starts with a brief look at what one team has tried, what we abandoned, and where we've seen some success. After that overview, let's open the floor. The goal is a working conversation among mentors and teams about what is actually producing value, where teams are hitting limits, and what guardrails make sense when students are the ones holding the tool. Come prepared to share what your team has tried.
