We are RAMs 7729 — a student-driven team from The Koç School designing, building, and programming competition robots that push the limits of engineering and teamwork.
From CAD to code, every component is designed with intent. We engineer tank drives, autonomous routines, and custom mechanisms built to perform under pressure.
Mechanical, electrical, programming, media, and strategy — every sub-team plays a critical role. We win and lose together, and the pit reflects our collective effort.
Beyond competitions, RAMs 7729 runs workshops, mentors younger students, and participates in local STEM events — proving that robotics is for everyone.
Our 2025–26 REBUILT robot is engineered to score fuel and cross obstacles
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.
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 ModulesBuilt on WPILib with a command-based architecture. We use PathPlanner for autonomous trajectory generation and AdvantageKit for structured logging and replay-based debugging.
Java · WPILibEvery mechanism is modeled in Onshape before fabrication. We iterate through multiple design reviews and use FEA simulation to validate structural integrity before cutting metal.
OnshapeCustom 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 PDHWe maintain a test schedule covering subsystem isolation testing, full-robot integration, auto routine validation, and driver practice sessions. Data from AdvantageScope informs every change.
AdvantageKitRAMs 7729 operates with the generous support of our sponsors. Their investment funds parts, tools, registration fees, and travel — making it possible for students to compete at the highest level of robotics.
