Structural Information
As this was our rookie year we continually updated our structure to meet certain needs throughout the season. We also started the team in late October, which made it a hassle to create a robust team structure before the start of the build season.

Leadership
This year our leadership division was comprised of two presidents, one prominently build and the other prominently business. The presidents were in charge of maintaining the leadership team and interfacing with the mentors. Just below them in the hierarchy was the technical and business directors. The directors were in charge of their corresponding subdivisions which will be listed below.

Technical Divisions

• Build

• CAD
