We are a small, student ran and operated team. We only have two "teacher sponsors", who aren't engineers or anything, just a Physics and a Biology teacher, interested in FIRST and robotics in general. Over the years we've had engineer mentors from places such as Lockheed and Drexel U, but general the robot is 95% designed and built by us.

I am the head "engineer", I guess you could say. I design pretty much the whole bot in CAD (after an extensive team input of design and strategy), then I'll start making parts myself and have some other people do it too. This year I took on the chassis and half the manipulator, so it's my responsibility to make sure those are modeled, parts are ordered, and the thing gets built properly. My "partners" will be helping be, as well as building other parts of the robot.

Also when all of my building is done, I will be doing the robot electronics with another person.

And when the whole thing is done, I'm the head driver.
