BONDS Sub-Teams
We are looking for a wide variety of students, not just those interested in STEM. Our team has a place for everyone! We hope that you can make it to a meeting to learn more!
Build
Build Team members learn about the design process, work in our shop with power tools, manufacture parts, and are responsible for producing the robot that we take to competitions every year! If you like working with your hands and don’t mind getting them a little dirty, this is the team for you!
Programming
If you like or want to learn about coding, check out our Programming Team! They are responsible for programming every robot that we create and they write thousands of lines of code in Java every year.
Electrical
The Electrical Team is responsible for wiring our robots. This team works closely with both the Programming and Build Teams. If you are interested in electronics or want to know how wiring works, give the Electrical Team a try!
CAD
CAD, or Computer-Aided Design, is essential to our design process. Before building our robots, each robot is designed on the computer using SolidWorks. If you are interested in designing parts of our robot and assembling them on the computer before they are built, the CAD team is a great fit for you.
Marketing
Our Marketing Team is responsible for keeping our website and social media up to date, as well as creating binders and flyers about the team. The Marketing Team also designs our shirts, banners, and the sponsor panel on each year’s robot. If you are interested in communicating with our sponsors, keeping our social media up to date, or photographing our events, Marketing is the perfect team to join!
Business
Our Business team manages the budget and works with the Marketing Team to create informational flyers and reports about the team. If you enjoy working with numbers and promoting a product or organization, our Business Team is the one for you!
