Team Positions

R2JESU Robotics has strong ties to its community and hosts/volunteers at many events to build fellowship with other teams and encourage interest in STEAM & robotics. In order for these events to go smoothly, this role helps to plan and put on many events throughout the competition season as well as the offseason. Past examples include hosting Kickoff for local teams, a Cor Jesu summer camp for 6th-9th grade as well as the CJ RISE program, and taking part in a back to school event for Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church.

This role handles the building of the robot all the way from prototyping to the final model. They use an assortment of tools and materials to build field pieces, robot mechanism, wiring, and much more. Patience and teamwork are needed to successfully take a robot through all of the stages of the building process.

This role uses Java to program the robot. Using platforms on the computer, like Visual Studio Coding platform. In addition, we use FIRST's open-source coding library called WPI Lib. Students will write code to program robot mechanisms and the autonomous, precoded, program for competition robots. 

This role is very important in building the team's identity. This allows us to advertise to the Cor Jesu Community and other teams. Each year there is a new theme that requires planning to incorporate it into our image. This involve making posters, buttons, and creating social media posts. 

This role is important for competition. Their role is maintaining the pit while the robot is on the field, scouting out other teams' abilities, and watching matches to gain information for alliance selection. All members of the team are on scouting/pit if they are not on the drive team.

Driver 1: controls the drive train. 

Driver 2: controls the mechanisms on the robot. 

Technician: performs quick fixes and takes the robot on and off the field during matches. 

Human Player: assists the robot by providing pieces from off the field.
