The team is divided into four primary subteams (Mechanical, Programming, Electrical, Science) organized by discipline to effectively divide team tasks. In-person general and subteam meetings occur weekly. Main communications are accomplished through email and Discord. Team-wide task management and deadlines are tracked using online Gantt chart software.
The team has recruited members since June via classroom outreach, flyers, and a team website. The team has established an online knowledge base website to facilitate onboarding of new members. Additionally, subteam leads provide individual training to prepare members for tasks on the team. Educational outreach plans include demonstrations and presentations hosted by SC Robotics in conjunction with the college’s Physics and Astronomy Club.
Fabrication space and machinery has been provided by Saddleback College. Team members have access to a CNC mill, lathe, waterjet, and multiple 3D printers.
