Mechanical Team

Responsible for the assembly, fabrication and iteration of the robots various mechanisms and systems. The mechanical team works primarily in the schools machine shop, along with troubleshooting functional design, and maintenance of parts. They coordinate with the electrical, software and CAD teams to complete and make any changes needed to the robot.

How we work.

A huge part of mechanical is training and experience. ​Teaching students how to operate machines, with a basic understanding of drive trains and other simple machines. Thoughtful design of our robot’s most critical parts directly impacts out performance at each competition and how we approach the aspects of each game.

Our approach to this is creating pre-season training lessons in which we teach our rookie team members the ins and outs of machining, tools, and design.
