Robotics projects involve a variety of engineering fields - mechanical, electrical, software, network, and even pneumatic and aeronautical.

With FIRST Robotics, safety is always a key and every engineering team also has students and staff focused on safety during design, build, and competition.

As important as the engineering is the Business portion of the team, which handles fund raising and budgeting, registering for competitions, travel planning, student and mentor registration, and entries for FRC business competitions. The business team maintains a pavilion at every competition both for robot repairs and for the public to learn more about the team and about robotics. They are also responsible for the team web site and social sites.

The Scout and Strategy teams are critical to success in competitions. Starting with developing the strategy that defines what the robot will do, the strategy team also looks at how to approach competitions and the strengths of each alliance. The scout team studies all teams at the competitions to learn their strengths and weaknesses - how best to work with them or to compete against them. They scout every match to determine which teams are improving and which are working through problems. All of this is used to set the strategy for each match and for the final competition rounds. Proper scouting and strategy makes your robot and the drive team even better.
