Over time, we’ve built a team structure that helps every student find their place and grow and succeed, whether in Marketing, Manufacturing, Programming, Electrical, or Design. This handbook walks you through how our team works: what each sub-team does, how tryouts are run, and what to expect at competitions, .
It’s your starting point for understanding how we operate, what we value, and how you can make the most of your experience. We’re always learning and improving, and this guide reflects what we’ve figured out so far.
