Fire Robotics #16953
All subteams
We turn ideas into a machine — designing every part in CAD, then printing, cutting, and assembling the robot that shows up on match day. From a napkin sketch to a driving robot in a few brutal weeks.
Build & CAD owns the physical robot from first sketch to final bolt. We model everything before we cut it, iterate relentlessly, and fabricate the custom parts that make our design possible.
Model every mechanism and the full robot in Onshape and Fusion 360 before a single part is cut.
Test ideas fast and cheap — 500+ design revisions across a single season to find what actually works.
3D print, cut, and machine 250+ custom parts, then assemble them into working subsystems.
Stress-test mechanisms, hunt down failure points, and refine until the robot holds up under competition.
