Strategy is always looking to improve our data collection, providing the drive team with precise data, giving them confidence in their ability to call the shots in a match. We will also help early on with creating our team's strategy for the season, always remembering team mottos “Simple. Reliable. Fast.” As well as “max points in autonomous, max points in endgame.” Those who are interested in being in an important role at competitions and being valuable team players are the people we want on our strategy team.

Our CAD team designs everything created by Team 1792. CAD or computer aided design lets us build 3D models and detailed plans for our robots. Using Onshape and a passion for learning, we turn ideas and drawings into real competitive robots. Beyond CAD we use tools like FEA, design reviews, and other processes to improve quality. You do not need any prior experience to join, we teach all the skills needed to design and model robots. Our members get hands-on experience and guidance every step of the way. If you are interested, come to a meeting and see what we do.

The Fabrication team is the team that prints/makes everything the CAD team designs for the 1792 robots and other projects. We use programs like Mach3 and Fusion to machine on our 3 axis CNC mill. We also use many manual machines like the mill, lathe, bandsaws, etc. We try to make the highest quality parts as we can the limits of our shop. We guide, train, and enable the use of all machines with all members on the team. Please come to our meets and learn what the fab team does in our shop.

The assembly team builds whatever needs to be built for the team. From assembling robots, making the games field, and/or fixing the robots, we will create or fix whatever is needed for the team, but there are a lot of things we will need help with and we need all the help we can get. We’ll take anyone with a passion to learn, build, fix, and will work well in groups. It may be challenging but the longer you stay with this sub team, you will gain more knowledge, meet more people, and the more fun you’ll have. 

The electrical team handles all the wiring on the robot and ensures that everything receives the power it needs to function properly. This includes connecting the battery, sensors, and wiring the motors, as well as establishing CAN connections. In all, the electrical team is responsible for making the robot power on, wiring the button box, and making all connections with wires. Electrical plays an important role in making the robot run, from turning metal into a working robot. For those who are fascinated and inquisitive about wires, electricity, and having an organized space, joining the electrical team can be a sparking journey.

Programmers develop the code that drives the robot functions. This involves writing software that controls the robot’s movements, processing sensor inputs, and managing communication between different components on the robot. In short, programming makes the wheels on the robot spin, the arms move, and the shooter shoots.  Programmers play a key role in transforming our vision into reality. The tools we use and the skills required make it a challenging but yet a rewarding field. For those who are curious and passionate about technology, joining the programming team can be an exciting journey.

During the build season, business team students work on a variety of tasks, including creating our weekly videos, filming subteams, and writing blog posts. While working on weekly videos, business students have the opportunity to learn and use Adobe Premiere Pro. Filming weekly videos also allows students to learn about different cameras, and how to use microphones. If you are creative and eager to learn, have an interest in using cameras, or are detail oriented, please consider joining the business subteam! 

Description of what the sub team does is coming soon.
