This team collects data on the performance
of robots at competition to compile into
a database. This database is used by our
team and other teams at the competition.
Drivers and operators for the robot need
to be completely prepared and skilled in
the ways of robot operations.
This team is responsible for website, graphics,
communications and promotion for Skunkworks.
They design the banners, buttons, apparel,
