They collaborate with team members to understand game requirements, strategize, create design concepts, and make decisions about materials, components, and technologies to be used. Architects help guide the CAD model designs, oversee prototypes, and ensure that the robot meets competition regulations.
-
Their responsibilities also include coordinating with programmers and builders to ensure a seamless integration of mechanical and software elements.
-
Additionally, architects may lead design reviews, troubleshoot issues, and iterate on designs to optimize robot performance.
Construction
-
Responsible for overseeing the design, fabrication, and assembly of the robot. They collaborate with the team to create a construction plan, manage the build timeline, coordinate tasks among team members, and ensure the robot is built within the competition's rules and specifications.
-
The Construction leader(s) also helps with problem-solving, mentors teammates in building techniques, and maintains a safe and organized workspace. Their role is crucial in translating the design into a functional robot while fostering teamwork and effective communication.
Electrical
-
Responsible for overseeing the design, assembly, and maintenance of the robot's electrical systems. This includes tasks such as wiring, circuit design, sensor integration, and ensuring compliance with competition rules.
-
The captain typically leads a team of students in these efforts, collaborates with other team members to integrate electrical components into the robot's overall design, troubleshoots any electrical issues, and ensures the safe and efficient operation of the robot's electrical systems during competitions.
Coding
-
Responsible for leading the software development efforts, coordinating with other team members, designing and implementing robot control systems, troubleshooting code issues, and ensuring successful integration of software with hardware components.
-
They also mentor and train other programmers, collaborate on strategy discussions, and manage version control for the codebase.
CAD
-
Responsible for overseeing the design process of the robot using CAD software. They lead a team of designers, ensure accurate and detailed drawings, collaborate with other team members, and help translate design concepts into functional robot components.
-
The CAD team coordinates with the mechanical and programming teams to ensure seamless integration of design and functionality. Their team is crucial in creating an effective and efficient robot for competition.
Public Relations
-
Responsible for managing the team's public image, communication, and outreach efforts.
