A season-by-season team record
The team knowledge base
Learn it. Build it. Leave a record.
Students should not have to start from zero each August. The handbook, build log, and archive give every season a head start.
01 // START
Team Handbook
Safety, tools, CAD, fabrication, electrical, programming, controls, and competition readiness—organized for students ready to learn.
02 // NOW
Current Season
Goals, meeting notes, design reviews, build logs, test results, decisions, and the story of the 2026–2027 team.
03 // HISTORY
Season Archive
Robots, competitions, media, outreach, results, and lessons from each year—clearly labeled as historical records.
Why this site exists
Teams change. Knowledge should stay.
Student and mentor rosters change every year. The archive keeps those snapshots in context while the handbook keeps the next student moving forward.
A robot is temporary. What the team learns can compound for years.
Help write the next chapter.
Current members: document the work. New students: start with the handbook. Alumni and supporters: help us preserve the story.
