About Us
How we work, what we believe, and where we're headed.
🎓 A Team Across Schools
Our strength comes from diversity. Team members attend Westwood, Meridian, and Cedar Park. We bring different perspectives, experiences, and skills to the table — and that makes us better.
Recruitment
Open to all Austin-area high school students. We look for people who are curious, not just experienced. No prior robotics background needed.
Learning
New members learn about FIRST, robot design, and how we work as a team before touching hardware. Everyone gets up to speed.
Instruction
Hands-on workshops for hardware, software, and CAD. Everyone learns the basics of everything.
FUN
Team bonding events and building a community. If it's not fun, what's the point?
Season Plan
- Kickoff — introduce new members, review rules
- Prototyping — test multiple designs before committing
- Build sessions and programming sprints
- Outreach events and robot demos
- Competitions — scrimmages, leagues, state
- Review, reflect, prep for next season
Goals
- Consistent autonomous scoring
- 100+ outreach hours
- Mentor 5+ rookie teams
- Document and improve robot reliability
- Grow social media presence
Every member picks a specialty — Hardware, Software, CAD, or Outreach. But everyone learns a bit of everything.
Captains are elected by democratic vote after giving speeches. Two co-captains share the load so no one person burns out.
Team Plan
We meet once a week (sometimes more before competitions). Each session has a clear agenda — build, code, test, or outreach. We document everything in meeting logs.
Mentors guide, but students lead. Every voice matters, and mentors make sure that stays true.
