Our Sub Teams

THIS PAGE UNDER CONSTRUCTION- Please pardon our dust

Business & Media

The Business & Media Team is in charge of creating a business plan, making presentations for potential sponsors, keeping track of the progress of the progress of the team, and creating a video for competition know as the chairman's award video.   The Media side handles our social media and our website plus coordinates visits.  The business team teaches our students how to make formal presentations, and develop the skills to talk to businesses in a professional and adult manner. This team helps teach members how to manage a team.

Design

On the design team, we go through the process of making various prototypes and designs to come up with the most effective and efficient design for each season. We spend a majority of our time testing and implementing, often partnering up with those on build team to make sure everything we do is realistically plausible with the skills and abilities our team members possess.  Here you will find our computer aided design (CAD) our cardboard aided design (also CAD), our 3D printing and our print design team.

Programming and Controls

Our programming and Controls team handles the coding of the robot, radios, software, operator controls.  Without this team, our robot is a very nice paperweight.  The programming team is focused on teaching our students the importance of the use of technology in the modern world. We will teach anyone the basics of coding and give them opportunities to be able to expand the knowledge. We use programming languages such as Java, XML, and Python to Communicate with our robot and issue commands to complete tasks based on the requirements of the game, allowing our robot to be able to perform at its best.

Electrical

Business Team is in charge of creating a business plan, making presentations for potential sponsors, keeping track of the progress of the progress of the team, and creating a video for competition know as the chairman's award video. Business team teaches our students how to make formal presentations, and develop the skills to talk to businesses in a professional and adult manner. This team helps teach members how to manage a team.

Mechanical

In the mechanical team, we put the robot together. After we determine the design we'd like to use to play the game, we make prototypes to make sure that the design is feasible and accomplishes what we need it to do. We then figure out the measurements of all the parts we're going to need and we cut them down to size. In this team , we teach members how to use hand tools and bigger machines to make parts. They learn what it takes to design, make, and assemble something that later accomplishes a bigger goal. Members can use these skills later in life to help them fix things such as cars.  

Pit Crew

The pit team is in charge of decision-making and design modifications when pertaining to the pit. the pit team also organizes, inventories, and cleans the pit. The pit captain is in charge of making sure that things run smoothly in the pit and that too many people are not present to hinder the mechanical team when fixing the robot.  

Safety

The safety team is responsible for the safety of the team and maintaining a safe environment in the pit. The safety team is responsible for the med kit, and knowing how to clean up a battery spill, and any tool pertaining to the safety of the team and robot. We also make sure the team knows how to safely use the tools available in robotics. This team's goal is to make sure students can have fun and safe environment when participating in robotics, and shop activities.

Scouting

Scouting is the process in which we talk to other teams and learn about their robots, and competition strategy. Scouting is extremely important mainly in the qualifying competitions because you have a greater chance of being in the top choosing alliances when competing against a smaller amount of teams. Scouting informs us of the other teams' abilities, and personalities, so if we are in the top alliances and we have to choose which teams we want to invite to our alliance, we know who we work best with, and who has the most compatible robot.

Parents and Family

Parents and Family:  Our robotics  teams would not be able to function without you.  Thank you for all you do to help.
