Departments

Fabrication

Build

The Build Department works on fabricating and maintaining the robot throughout the year. The department works with prototyping the robot for the season as well as maintaining robots from previous years.

Programming

The Programming Department is all about fabricating a system that results in a robot that is easy to drive. Once they finish a program, they have to test and troubleshoot all of its aspects. In this respect, programmers learn volumes of the programming language Java in addition to LabVIEW along with lots of patience.

Electronics

The Electronics Department closely works coincide with the Build Department. They work on wiring and circuiting the robot. Just like the Build Department works on maintaining the robot from previous years.

Logistics

Media

The Media Department manages our team branding, team website, social media, contact with other professional media outlets, and the overall aesthetic appearance of the team. This department is in charge of documenting events and competitions through photos, videos, and interviews, as well as spreading awareness of the Daredevils throughout our community and school, and refining our team image.

Team Management

Behind the scenes of any team with a winning robot is some type of Management Department. The money raised and managed by this department makes it possible for our team to build, travel, and compete. There are several sections of management: accounting, awards, trip planning and fundraising.

Strategy

At the beginning of Build Season, Strategy collaborates with Build in discussions about the functions of the robot and game strategy. As the rule interpreters, our team counts on them to read the fine print and keep us on track by watching the building of the robot closely to make sure everything is legal according to the FIRST Rule Book. They also consult with Media about what information to share (or not share) with the general public. They identify our strengths and weaknesses as well as those of competing robots.
