Our fall recruitment for the 2027 season is currently closed. Check back in spring for more updates!
Subteam Structure
Our unique subteam structure allows our members to develop essential multi-disciplinary skills for the modern workplace. To begin, design creates novel mechanisms for our robot followed by extensive prototyping. From there they make a full CAD model of our robot that is built and software created throughout the season. Throughout this time our business team works to secure funding and develop an internal organization for a smooth and efficient season. Join our team if you are a high schooler during the off-season. Please fill out the interest form below to save a spot at our try-outs in fall.
Design
The Design subteam works on creating a 3D CAD model of our robot using Onshape and 3D printing. Design members learn to rapidly iterate designs, gain experience in product creation, and develop key skills when it comes to navigating complex CAD interfaces.
Software
The software subteam works with Java and Python to develop code that wirelessly controls the robot. Software members translate oral feedback into functional code, preparing students for an increasingly computerized world.
Build
The Build subteam is the most hands-on one that fabricates the robot. Build team members gain an advanced knowledge of tools ranging from simple screwdrivers to a CNC router. They handle all physical aspects from electrical to mechanical engineering.
Business
The business subteam secures funds, oversees finances, and manages public outreach. They grow the team's online presence, acquire grants and sponsorships, and organize cash flow as well as design the team merchandise. Business members develop skills around entrepreneurship and marketing that is great practice for real-world business management.
Electrical
The electrical team works alongside software and on the mechanical aspects to get the robot up and running. They learn core concepts of mechanical engineering, working with motors, batteries, CAN, and wires that are essential to the robot.
Vision
The vision team works primarily with Python, creating the code behind the robot’s vision capabilities. Vision members learn how to use April Tags and other tools so that the robot knows its location on the field.
