Leadership Structures
Our Subgroups
Our team format allows each student to specialize in a particular set of tasks. Harrison Boiler Robotics consists of five subgroups, each covering a specific area of robot production. Students are encouraged to explore different subgroups but it’s recommended they choose one for a competition season. Students on any subteam can get involved in scouting, drive teams, or media at competitions, in fact, it’s heavily motivated.
Tech
The Tech subgroup is responsible for the assembly and maintenance of the robot. They work in our wood and metal shops to create prototypes, robots, and various other projects.
CAD
The CAD, or Computer Aided Design, subgroup is in charge of creating an in-depth design of each major component of the robot using a computer program called ONShape in order to provide a blueprint for the other subgroups to follow.
Electrical
The Electrical subgroup is responsible for adding all the electrical components to the robot. They connect all of the wiring to a main hub on the robot to allow it to be programmed to move.
Business
The Business subgroup has a variety of responsibilities including fundraising, advertising, essay writing for a variety of awards, social media upkeep, and most importantly community outreach coordination.
Programming
The Programming subgroup’s responsibilities include creating a Java program consisting of the different moving parts in the robot such as our elevator and arm. This is what lets our robot carry out tasks and perform different functions. They also work on a scouting program each season before our first competition.
Game Design
Game Design works on the 2021 Game Design challenge. They have fleshed out a game idea, made game pieces, and worked on a “reveal” animation. They have worked on writing essays and documents required for this challenge.
