Carlos is leading the mechanisms subdivision, tasked with creating a vacuum device to pick up soccer balls. James is leading the electronics subdivision, taking responsibility of the coding aspect of this year's robot. Finally, Tony is in charge of the chassis subdivision and creating the framework of the entire robot.

We send our thoughts and prayers to the families and friends affected by the death of this team member. We also send our thoughts to those who were injured in the accident.
