Using Measuring Tools

In FRC, we use measuring tools everyday no matter what we are doing. Measuring tools are THE most important tool that we have in the shop! There are many different kinds, and they do drastically different things. - Rulers and Tape Measures: Rulers are flat tools with marked measurement units used for measuring lengths, while tape measures consist of a retractable tape for longer distances.

  • Calipers: Calipers come in various types (vernier, digital, dial) and are used to measure internal and external dimensions with high accuracy.

  • Measuring Tape: A specialized tape used for taking measurements in construction, interior design, and various other applications.

  • Protractors: Protractors measure angles between two lines or surfaces, important in geometry and various technical fields.
