Our teams:
Electrical team
Eletricool, the best team on Redbird Robotics, makes and wires all the power to the robot. It is the most important team because it connects everything together, the physical parts(mechanical team) to the electronic brain(programing team)
Mechanical team
The mechanical team builds and helps prototypes the robot. They do most of the Physical work even though they are not as cool as the electricool people. In the beginning of the year, most of them are on the CAD team or ar working directly with them to design the basics of the robot.
Programing team
The programing team make the robot move. They programed our 3 axis drive system as well as field oriented mode where there is always one direction that is forward even when the robot is turned. Last year(2024) they had created an auto aiming system for our ring shooter.
C.A.D. team
The CAD team helps design the whole robot on computers so that we don't have to waste materials on versions that wouldn't work. However, we still do a lot of physical prototyping as well. The CAD team works directly with all the teams to figure out where to integrate systems and to design in a way that we can build in real life.
