Why PitCrew

Turn build-season chaos into a clear team system.

Small teams do not need another generic chatbot. They need a repeatable way to move from discussion to decisions, from decisions to tasks, and from tasks to documented learning.

🧭

Plan with confidence

Capture kickoff notes, team constraints, strategy options, and design tradeoffs in one place.

βœ…

Stay organized

Turn ideas into task lists, checklists, owners, priorities, and build-season milestones.

πŸ‘₯

Mentor more, not less

Provide guidance, feedback, and accountability without repeating the same explanation all season.

πŸ“˜

Document everything

Keep notes, tests, CAD decisions, code decisions, and student reflections ready for review.

πŸ“Š

See what matters

Get visibility into progress, risks, blockers, and where students need mentor support.

πŸ€–

Built for FRC & FTC

Use workflows that match how robotics teams actually plan, build, test, and compete.

How It Works

From kickoff notes to an organized build plan.

PitCrew helps students and mentors ask better questions, make clearer decisions, and leave every meeting with useful next steps.

Capture the game

Paste notes, manual summaries, video takeaways, or team observations.

Add constraints

Tell PitCrew about your team size, tools, parts, budget, programming skill, and event timeline.

Choose priorities

Build a practical strategy board that separates must-build work from nice-to-have ideas.

Execute the plan

Create prototype tasks, CAD requests, checklists, schedules, and notebook entries.
