Subteams

Mechanical

The mechanical subteam builds the physical robot. They learn how to use different machines and tools such as CNC router to proto-type and create the parts which they then assemble. A lot of mechanical is about critical thinking and learning how to quickly change things. 

Computer-Aided Design (CAD)

The CAD team works closely with the mechanical team to model each part of the robot. Using Onshape, they create assemblies of the entire robot and individual components that guide the mechanical team in the building of the robot.

Electrical

The electrical team is responsible for the control of all electrical and pneumatic systems on the robot. The electrical team also shares the responsibility for the management of the machine shop.

Programming

The programming team codes all of the functions of the robot. Using Java, members program the robot to operate both autonomously and under human control. Members need to work with teammates and use critical thinking skills to solve the challenges encountered every day.

Business

Singularity is primarily student-run, so the business subteam handles the team finances,  outreach,  and comunication.  They also create the season logo which goes on all team merchandise. Additionally, business completes the submitted awards for the year and makes the different handouts for competitions.

Manufacturing

The manufacturing subteam helps create unique components for the robot uisng the CNC, laser cutting, and 3D printers. The manufacturing team helps build the game elements  for the bot to practice on. They also manage the use of the CAM Machines (CNC, 3D Printers, etc)
