This isn’t a kit you snap together. Students design parts in CAD, print and machine them in-house, wire the electronics, and program autonomous routines that track targets with a camera. Every season is a full engineering cycle — design, build, test, iterate.

That pit table is covered in parts the students designed themselves and printed on the team’s 3D printers — brackets, gears, and a custom turret ring.
Senior Grant Schefers earned the Stratasys 3D Printing Award at the Minnesota State Championship for exactly this kind of work.

Multiple teams mean multiple robots, each one rebuilt and refined across the season. Mecanum drive for omnidirectional movement, custom intakes, and shooters tuned match by match.
The results follow: a national ranking that climbed more than 1,700 places in five years.
