We have weekly subteam meetings set by the respective leadership. There are also biweekly general body meetings on Wednesdays at 7:00pm in Computer Science Room 222.

We are very flexible. We understand needing to skip a meeting to study for a test or go to an intramural sports game. You can spend just an hour or two a week on a subteam and still get something out of your experience. On the opposite end, there’s also an opportunity to dive in whole-heartedly and spend as much time as you please working on multiple subteams and hanging out in our tight-knit community.

That’s OK! None of us did when we joined. The design center gives you professional training on shop tools and machinery and our team expands on that training helping you get comfortable working on and understanding robots.

Competitions can be any time of the year, but we typically compete in the spring. Our design, manufacture, and business units work year-round to make that happen!

It changes from year to year, but our typical core group of active members is approximately 30.

Our past robots have been 12-30 pounds. Even in that small of a package, they pack quite a punch! This year we plan to compete in the 15-lb weight class with 3 robots this year.

We charge $20 dues to be an active member of the team. This charge directly funds your annual robot T-shirt. Other fun team apparel is available at market price but is not necessary to be on the team.

Our CAD team currently utilizes Onshape. Even if you have experience in a different software, it’s easy to learn and similar to the other major CAD suites.
