It takes a TEAM to build a robot.

SERT members work in sub-teams (each with a student lead) to collaborate on the many areas of expertise that are integral to making a robot. They also assist in operating and funding a student-led, volunteer-supported, group.

Along with our co-captains, this leadership team coordinates the events and activities, as well as mentoring junior team members to help them develop their skills and become next year’s leaders.

Mechanical

This team prototypes the robot mechanisms and assembles the robot from the ground up.
Electrical

This team wires the mechanisms and sensors so that robot’s software can control the components.
CAD

This team creates 3D models of robot components and creates custom 3D printed parts.
Software

This team writes code that operates the robot and creates various web-based applications.
Strategy

This team leads design discussions, analyzes data on the robot’s performance, and develops competition strategies.
Business

This team fundraises through sponsorships, submits award applications, and partners with media on promotion and outreach.
Media

This team creates social media content, photo and video documentation of robot builds and events, and partners with the business team on promotion and outreach.
Safety

This team educates SERT team members, and the public, about safety. They also enforce safety practices, and manages a safe environment for all participants.
