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.
