Our team is organized into specialized squads. From CAD design to sponsor pitches, every squad interacts and works with each other to ensure a cohesive result. The robot is being built right now.
Mechanical Design Squad M.D.S.
Owns the physical architecture: chassis, drivetrain, and manipulators. Builds 3D CAD assemblies in Onshape, evaluates mecanum vs. tank drives, and prototypes scoring mechanisms. Also produces the technical diagrams and CAD documentation for the Engineering Portfolio.
K
Kashvi S.
Mechanical Design Squad Lead
Three years in FIRST Robotics, now leading on chassis design and CAD documentation.
Outside of robotics: science, animals, music, basketball, and school choir.
Electrical Design & Assembly Squad E.D.A.S.
Brings the robot to life: wiring, sensor mounting, battery management, and motor controllers. Handles physical assembly, color-coded wiring harnesses, IMU and odometry pod integration, and ensures every electrical connection is competition-ready.
I
Ibby A.
Electrical Design & Assembly Lead
Hands-on experience with 3D printing, electronics, and microcontrollers.
Comfortable across hardware and software, and a steady presence on the team.
Autonomous Squad A.S.
Owns the first 30 seconds of every match. Programs AprilTag-based computer vision, IMU heading correction, odometry, and pathfinding (FTC RoadRunner). Scores points before a human ever touches the controller.
A
Anna G.
Autonomous Squad Lead
Three-year robotics veteran with a creative, methodical approach to problem-solving.
Outside of robotics: human biology, art, and choir.
TeleOps & Driving Squad T.D.S.
Owns the 2-minute TeleOp period. Programs custom gamepad mappings (asymmetric stick layouts, one-button score/intake macros), trains primary and backup drivers, and builds manual fallbacks for every macro. Speed and intent over fancy buttons.
A
Anvay K.
TeleOps & Driving Lead
Three-year robotics veteran on the driver controls.
Outside of robotics: video games, piano, and MMA.
Business Operations & Outreach Squad B.O.O.S.
Acts as the team's startup founders. Manages finances and budgets, raises funds for the team, leads sponsor pitches, and writes the Engineering Portfolio narrative. Most importantly drive the team through the season to be ready on the game day.
N
Nora D.
Business Operations & Outreach Lead
Organized, detail-oriented, and equally fluent in code and graphic design.
Keeps budgets on track and sponsor pitches sharp. Also part of the school leadership crew.

A note from the team
All of our roles interact and work with each other to ensure a cohesive result.
The drivetrain doesn't matter without auto code. Auto code doesn't matter without
a gamepad. The gamepad doesn't matter without sponsors paying for batteries.
Sponsors don't matter without a robot to be proud of. The cycle is the work.
We're expanding the flock.
Join the Superconducktors and help us build something amazing.
