Robot in 3 Days (RI3D):
RI3D was created by a group of previous FIRST members and mentors who are now professional engineers. After kickoff, this group of teams work for 3 days to build a robot for FRC. After the 3 days they show us what they built which gives us ideas as to what a robot for the game could look like. RI3D starts their livestream after kickoff but you can see previous builds here: https://www.youtube.com/user/robotin3days
