Interested In Becoming A Gearhead?
When to Join?
New members typically join in fall at the start of the school year in mid-September/October time-frame. We hold robotics day at the end of August as a fun, one day event allowing students to gauge their interest. New Member Orientation and 102 University classes are held in the fall to help our rookies get comfortable with our build room and gain hands-on confidence in the skills needed to build our robots.
