About Delta Force Calculator

What is Delta Force Calculator?

Delta Force Calculator is the mechanical design calculator used by team Delta Force (FRC 9001, FTC 17713) from Romania. It is our version of ReCalc, a calculator focused on ease of collaboration and a quality user interface, built to help teams in the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) and FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC).

Thanks & Credits

This calculator exists thanks to Justin Tervay, the author of ReCalc, and to the people in the FRC community that ReCalc builds on:

pchild, for 401 Calc

AriMB, for AMBCalc

dydx, for JuliaDesignCalc

Connor_H, for modifications to the DC motor icon

WPILib, for the WPILib library, documentation, and models

CTRE, for the motor dyno data and current limit modeling advice

And of course all the people who found bugs and offered feedback & suggestions.

Original DC motor icon created by ic2icon on iconscout.

How accurate are the calculators?

The math behind them is sound "in theory," but of course, everything works in theory. There are lots of variables that go into a robot, and the results of the calculator may not be perfect.

If something looks wrong on this site, email us at contact@deltaforce.ro. Errors in the underlying math come from ReCalc, so they can also be reported on the ReCalc GitHub.
