Team Leadership
Our team is led by a group of dedicated students who are passionate about robotics and engineering. These students are responsible for the day-to-day operations of the team, as well as the long-term planning and strategy. They are also responsible for the team's finances, and for ensuring that the team is in compliance with all applicable rules and constraints set by the competition.
The team is structured with a president, vice president, project manager, treasurer, and from there is split into three sub-teams: mechanical, electrical, and software. Each sub-team has a manager and one or more project leads.
