The Programming & IT Team brings the robot to life. Every action the robot performs — from driving and shooting to running autonomous routines — is powered by code written by this team.

They also build custom applications to collect data on other robots during competitions, helping the team plan smarter strategies.

The Vice Programming Lead also serves as the IT Lead, managing all things tech-related. This includes maintaining the team’s servers, organizing data and files, and solving any internet or network issues that come up.

In short, this team keeps both the robot and the team’s technology running smoothly.
