Inner Workings
Building a robot is no mean feat, but we've organized our team so it's up to the task. Here's how we do it.
Subteams
To tackle complicated tasks quickly, Eastbots is divided into several specialized groups. On the design subteam, team members use industry-standard CAD software to provide blueprints for Mechanical to build. On Electrical, students wire up the robot, connecting its motors and cameras, which the Programming subteam then brings to life. Marketing and Fundraising keep money in the bank, and Outreach connects with the wider community to help spread STEM education.
Student Leadership
Each subteam is lead by one student leader, chosen at the end of the season for talent and teamwork skills. Our technical subteam leads report upwards to the Build Captain, elected democratically each season. Our Build Captain works with the team's President to run the team and get the robot built.
