¶ Clockworks
We are Team Clockworks, a robotics team from Bucharest, Romania. We compete in FTC under the international number #19085 and at various local competitions.
We are powered by Alacrity Education, an NGO focused on innovating informal education by creating the first open-access STEM laboratory in the heart of Bucharest.
Our foundational principle is open-source. We strive to open up to everyone to study, reproduce and improve all of our projects. This Wiki is a place where documentation lives for all of our work.
The principles of open-source are best summarized by the Voron community:
We build space shuttles with gardening tools, so that everyone can have a space shuttle of their own.
¶ 📚 Clockworks Wiki
Welcome to the Clockworks Wiki — a knowledge base for our robotics projects, documentation, and team resources!
This Wiki is a place where documentation lives for all of our open-source work.
