"Worlds" Championships if we qualify
MSHSL "States" if we qualify (this is considered an off-season event)

CAD uses Onshape to design the parts and systems of the robot, working within the constraints of each year's challenge, the team's strategy, available resources, and feedback from subteams.

Build team is responsible for constructing the robot, fabricating parts, and providing design feedback to the CAD team. During competition, they are responsible for repairs.

Pit Management (Planning, Setup, Mgmt)
Safety

Control Systems works on the software/programming aspect of the robot. They program and wire the robot along with creating the drive system.

Programming
Electronics (RoboRIO, Wireless)
Drive Station
Competition Driving

Drive operates the robot in Competition.

Driver 1 moves the robot, Driver 2 operates the system, Coach directs the team and communicates with Alliance partners, and the Human Player watches the field and feeds game pieces during competition.

Strategy and Scouting analyzes the game each season and figures out the best method to score points; which helps build team decide how to construct the robot.

Safety manages and develops protocols and guidelines to reduce the possibility of injuries, assist and document in the event of injury, and promote and ensure safe practices at all times.

For more information, visit the FIRST Safety Portal. Each year, FIRST publishes a safety manual.

Business collaborates with all members, sub-teams, mentors and the Booster Club to develop community outreach and recruiting events, craft and focus fundraising strategies, build meaningful sponsor and supporter relationships, and foster an inclusive, high-quality team environment. The team manages social media, photography, and marketing communication while practicing essential business management skills.
