Code Red’s Sub-Teams
Code Red is organized into seven sub-teams to make our team run efficiently and make sure students are working with what they are interested in. Check out our sub-teams. Which one would you want to be a part of if you were on the team?
| Design Team | This team takes the ideas of the team and turns them into components that will become the robot using CAD. The CAD drawings are sent to our fabricator, who makes the parts. |
|---|---|
| Build Team | This team builds the robot from the components we get from the fabricator. The team also builds parts to the robot that we can make in-house. |
| Wiring and Controls Team | This team wires the robot so that it has electrical power and the capabilities for programming. Then they program the robot to drive and follow a series of commands for the autonomous portion of the game |
| Drive Team | This is a team of seven students who drive the robot at the competitions. The drive team consists of two drivers, a drive coach, and two human players. Two additional team member serve as a match analyzer and “pit boss”. |
| Presentation Team | This team creates the elements that make up the submission for the Chairman’s Award. It an essay, a video, and a presentation with a visual aid. This team also makes arrangements for community and school demonstrations and other outreach events |
| Marketing Team | This team creates and maintains published materials about the team, the robot, and activities. This includes creating flyers, updating and maintaining the business plan, maintaining the website, and making pins and “trinkets” to hand out at competitions. They also take care of arranging outreach activities for the team. |
| Scouting Team | This team talks to other teams and observes robot performance during matches at competitions to learn what other team’s robots can and cannot do in the game. This is done for the purpose of match strategy and determining tournament alliances. |
