Mechanical<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Mechanical Department is primarily focused on building the Robot. Students are trained in using CNC machines, Laser cutters, and other other shop tools to manufacture and produce the mechanical structure of our robot. Student collaborate with Design and Electronics to construct all workings of the robot. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Electronics<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Electronics is responsible for developing and deploying the electrical system. Electronics works as an interface between programming and mechanical divisions, to carefully design electrical systems to meet the needs of robot mechanisms and software.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Programming<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Programming is in charge of the software aspect of the robot. Using Java, Programming codes motor controllers, pistons, and sensors to control the robot\u2019s mechanisms. Most recently, Programming has been revamping the rookie teaching curriculum to ensure that the rookies can be more confident in coding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Design<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Design departments primarily focuses on envisioning all engineering projects before they are fabricated. Students specialize in CAD (Computer Aided Design) crafting full scale models of a robot, and planning all necessary manufacturing decisions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Outreach<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Our Outreach department helps connect our robotics team to both other robotics teams as well as organizations outside of robotics. Our current focus this year is to start establishing new connections outside of FRC, such as helping spread STEM to a wider audience. TKO has been active in reaching out to our local community by teaching the basics of robotics to kids. We also coordinate projects such as bonding events with other schools. Not only do we focus on the robotics community, but we also promote social awareness and collaborate with DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion). We additionally write and edit awards for competitions. At the moment, we are preparing watch parties for various games our robot will participate in.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Leadership<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Leadership is the liaison between students, mentors, and contacts outside the team. The president oversees the entire team, working with sponsors, operations, and the mechanical side of the team. The vice president of engineering runs all mechanical departments and the vice president of operations oversees the operational side of the team. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
