Getting Involved - Students

FIRST Robotics is all about the students. As a student, you brainstorm ideas, create a design, and then make that design a reality. Our mentors are there to help you during this and teach you what they know. Also, as a student, you help mentor the younger students in Lego League, and participate in fund-raisers and community events.

As a member of our team you must attend the team meetings and participate. There are many different task teams that you can join. We have the build team, which is responsible for manufacturing the mechanical parts of the robot such as the frame, propulsion system, pneumatic system, etc. The electronics team is responsible for assembling the electronics board for the robot as well as integrating that into the robots chassis. The programming team is responsible for writing the program that the robot executes during the matches (including automated and human-controlled segments). The media team takes pictures or videos at the meetings and competitions and often cooperates with other task teams to distribute and utilize the media. They also design advertisements and other medias. The communications team primarily creates and maintains the website as well as organizing other communications such as the Team Alert System.

If you don't think you fit into any of those task teams, don't count yourself out, there's a place for everyone on The Red Barons. Come to one of our meetings (see the Calendar) and see what we are all about. If you don't live in the area, check out the FIRST Robotics teams that are in your area.
