From Kickoff to Competition

Run a better build season.

PitCrew is a mentor-assist command center for small and rebuilding FRC & FTC teams. Turn kickoff decisions and build-season work into organized plans, tasks, and documentation.

๐Ÿ Built for FRC & FTC ๐Ÿค– Commander + 17 specialist agents โœ… Mentor-assist, not mentor replacement
Kickoff Wizard

What does your team do the moment Kickoff ends?

Every FRC and FTC season starts the same way: a game reveal, a room full of ideas, and no structure to turn them into a plan. The Kickoff Wizard is PitCrew's answer โ€” a guided session that takes your team from "we just watched the reveal video" to a scored strategy, a defined robot, and a build schedule, in one sitting.

PitCrew Decision Matrix screen scoring five strategy options across points potential, ranking point value, build difficulty, driver difficulty, and reliability risk, with Fast Low Cycler marked Highest Score and Selected

Decision Matrix โ€” AI pre-scores every strategy your team is considering. Override anything you disagree with.

PitCrew Match Strategies screen showing five distinct AI-generated strategies with build-complexity badges and scoring rationale

Match Strategies โ€” five distinct, game-specific options before you commit to one.

PitCrew Build Schedule screen showing a week-by-week task list generated automatically from the Kickoff Wizard session

Build Schedule โ€” the payoff. A week-by-week plan, generated, not guessed at.

How It Works

One session sets up your whole season.

The Kickoff Wizard isn't a one-off form โ€” it's the input that makes every other PitCrew tool useful from day one.

๐Ÿงญ

Kickoff

Game notes, team constraints, a scored strategy, and a defined robot โ€” all captured in one guided session.

๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ

Plan

Your Kickoff session feeds MoSCoW priorities, CAD requests, and a build schedule automatically โ€” nothing re-typed.

Build & Document

Ask Commander anything as you build. Every session becomes a dated engineering notebook entry, automatically.

Commander routes your question to the right specialists and returns one synthesized answer โ€” cited, not vague.

Commander

Ask anything. Commander routes to the right agents automatically.

Behind Commander are 17 specialist agents โ€” covering engineering, operations, outreach, awards, documentation, and student onboarding. You never need to know which one to ask.

Everything your Kickoff session sets in motion.

One shared board for priorities, a notebook that writes itself, and an invite flow built for a whole roster โ€” not one student at a time.

MoSCoW Board

One shared priority list โ€” Must, Should, Could, Won't โ€” generated straight from your Kickoff session.

Notebook

Commander sessions can create dated engineering-notebook entries that preserve the question, specialists consulted, and recommendations for the team to review.

Bulk and CSV invite panel with four names and email addresses pasted in, ready to send

Bulk / CSV Invite

Paste your whole roster at once, or upload a CSV. No more inviting students one at a time.

Competition Day

Ready for the pit, not just the shop.

The same structure that got you through build season keeps working on event day.

Pit Checklist screen with hardware and software readiness items, some checked off

Pit Checklist

A real competition-day readiness list across hardware, software, and safety โ€” not a blank page the morning of.

Driver Practice screen showing a logged 30-minute session with a 4 out of 5 rating and coaching notes

Driver Practice

Log every practice session โ€” focus area, duration, and a rating โ€” so improvement is visible, not just felt.

For Coaches & Mentors

Stop explaining the same thing three times.

Visibility across every subsystem, documentation that's ready for judging, and a process that survives roster turnover season to season.

For Students

Real ownership, real structure.

The AI drafts, you decide. Ask Commander anything, and leave every session with a notebook entry that's actually worth reading.
