Who Are
the RAMs?

RAMs 7729 was founded in 2019 and is based at The Koç School in Tuzla, Istanbul, Türkiye. Sponsored by Boeing, Raytheon Technologies, and Alastyr.com, we represent a community that believes hands-on STEM experience is the most powerful education.

Every fall we begin designing our robot from scratch. Every spring we take that robot to regional competitions. In between, we learn more than any classroom can teach — about failure, iteration, collaboration, and grit.

Our Engineering
Stack

🔩

Tank Drivetrain

We use tank modules, giving the robot full holonomic movement. We tune PID loops extensively during build season to achieve precise field-relative control.

MK4i Modules
🖥️

Software Architecture

Built on WPILib with a command-based architecture. We use PathPlanner for autonomous trajectory generation and AdvantageKit for structured logging and replay-based debugging.

Java · WPILib
📐

CAD & Design

Every mechanism is modeled in Onshape before fabrication. We iterate through multiple design reviews and use FEA simulation to validate structural integrity before cutting metal.

Onshape

Electrical Systems

Custom wiring harnesses with labeled runs, PDH power management, and SparkMAX motor controllers throughout. Our electrical team designs layouts that survive a full competition day of matches.

SparkMAX · REV PDH
🧪

Testing & Iteration

We maintain a test schedule covering subsystem isolation testing, full-robot integration, auto routine validation, and driver practice sessions. Data from AdvantageScope informs every change.
