Team Divisions
In most FIRST Robotics teams, students are divided into sub-teams to focus on specific sections of the workload. This allows students to work on topics that they have experience in or are interested in learning. Each section provides invaluable skill sets for future professions.
MechanicalResponsible for physically building the robot. This section creates ideas, models, and prototypes and how the robot is physically put together. Utilizes critical thinking and problem solving skills, such as maximizing efficiency while meeting weight limits. Lucas Powell is the leader of this section with Mick Schneider as mentor.

ProgrammingSpecifically deals with the coded language that the robots work in. Makes mechanical parts useful by providing singular central control. Many of times this division also serves double duty for the electrical team, because the two are tightly tied together and one cannot progress without the other.
