Homestead Robotics Team

Recruitment

It seems that many people have this idea that the Robotics Team is only for "smart" people. The only thing we expect from members is dedication and initiative. It is not the goal of FIRST to merely provide a competition, but to introduce and inspire new engineers.

However, basic math is essential in designing robots, in particular trigonometry. If you do not understand trig, we can help you when the occasion arises. Physics is not mandatory.

Fields used by the Team:

  • Mechanical engineering
    • Design/Drafting
    • Assembly of frames
    • Machining, welding
    • Construction of mechanical assemblies
  • Programming
  • Electronics (power distribution and intrument testing)
  • Graphic/web design for this site, t-shirts, and more
  • Business (sponsorship)

Membership

At the moment, no forms are required to join the team. However, to make the entrance fee this year we are instituting a fee. The details are in this letter. To be added to the mailing list contact webmaster@steveneaton.com.
