Sub Teams

CAD crew uses CAD software to design various mechanisms and systems of the robot, as well as make part drawings for the Prototype team to use.  During the Prototype stage, coming up with an idea and conceptualizing it is vital, CAD helps plan out possible designs and features of systems or components. Further on in the build season CAD is vital to the manufacturing of a robot, whether it's designing a piece to be laser cut, water jetted, to be made in the CNC, or to be cut on the table route.

Students will design parts useful for the robot on a computer software so that it can easily get printed and attached to the robot. 

 Programming creates a specific program in various programs allowing a robot to operate entirely on its own during autonomous and via the driver controls during the teleoperated time period of practice and competition.  This not only goes for the competition robot but we also have mini robots(ROMIs) that can be used for programming practice.  Another opportunity is through teaching younger kids such as the FTC and FLL teams to program as well.

This team's goal is to program software to support the robot control. Without software, our robots would not be able to work at their max potential. 

In machining, students would help create custom parts for the robot using certain manufacturing equipment. They would also Build/Assemble the robot. Students will learn how to use hand held tools and power tools throughout the season, so that they will be able to contribute to the building of the robot. Students will also be in charge of keeping all the tools in their correct places whenever they are done using them. There are designated organizers labeled for all types of tools we have, and students need to be checking them regularly that everything is in their place. 

This subteam focuses on our community and spreading the word of our team and robotics in general. While building the robot and going to competitions is fun, the main thing that FIRST wants all of its teams to do is incorporate STEAM into our communities, and that's what this subteam is all about.

This subteam is in charge of collecting data on how our team and other teams are competing at competitions. For example, scouting. Scouts are in charge of taking in data on how each team is performing throughout each match so that we can easily pick teams for alliances .Scouts are also in charge with sending out strategy text messages to the drive team during competitions about the advantages and disadvantages their opponents and teammates have for upcoming matches.

After the first round of competitions are done and the first 8 seeds have been placed, it’s time for the scouting team to either talk to those 8 seeds about potentially being picked for alliances, or meet up with teams we would want in our alliance if we happen to be one of those 8 seeds 

Students will learn how to use wires and connect them to the robot. Without wires, our robots won’t work which means students will have to do this job very carefully and well
