G201 Calculator

The G201 Calculator is an eco-friendly assessment tool designed by FRC Team 201 to help other robotics teams evaluate and reduce their environmental impact.

Purpose

The calculator provides a structured way to track sustainability metrics across four key modules:

1. Shipping & Packaging: Tracks materials used in ordering and packaging.
2. Disposable Meal Items: Evaluates waste from team meals and events.
3. Robot Components: Assesses material usage in robot construction (mechanical, electrical, etc.).
4. Transportation: Measures carbon footprint from team travel.

How It Works

Users answer a series of questions in each module. The calculator computes an “Eco Score” based on:

• Quantity of materials used.
• Disposal methods (single-use vs. recyclable).
• Transportation efficiency.

Based on the score, the tool provides personalized recommendations to help the team become more sustainable.
