The Team Breakdown
Animation
The crafty few: these men work hard to create something new and interesting every year; they never cease to amaze us.
Team Members, Left to Right: David Keller, Kyle Wills, Matthew Matson.
Design
The creation starts here: members of the design team spend countless hours in CAD to get the robot design just right. They are always on call for the build team which constantly needs dimensions.
Team Members, Left to Right: Olexsandr Tyberkevich, Jordan Powell, Lydia Su, Micheal Abramson, Cathy Dinsmoor, Tanner Ellsworth, Christopher Der Manuelian, Kenny Kaminski (Mentor).
Electrical
Fast and furious: the internals of our robot are accomplished by these fine men. They design and redesign the board as the robot is revised; these men can wire the entire robot in only a couple hours.
Team Members, Left to Right: Aaron Walker, Yashwanth Lagisetty, Alex Dinsmoor, Lucas Tegner, Adam Aldridge.
Not Pictured: Michael Giedzinski.
Field Build
Skilled carpenters measure twice and cut once: the Field build team does exactly that. These men make it possible for us to test our robot as if it were on a competition grade field.
Team Members, Left to Right: Bryan Ferus, Evan Barlage, Roman Samokyzyn (Mentor), Andrew Mathieson, Aaron Walker.

Sparks fly as this team goes into action: the Build Team is probably the recognized of all the teams. They do a great job each year bringing the robot together on time and in great working condition.
Team Members, Left to Right: Sarah Yaqub, Christopher Long, Matthew Zak, Derek Martin, Kelly Yu, Jordan Carlson, Haleigh Dever, Nick Samokyszyn, Johnathon Wareham, Megan Hudak.
Mentors: Dennis Debusschere, Richard Donald, Raffi Der Manuelian, Jason Rosell, Tim Spry.
Programming
Living in Labview for 6 weeks of the year: this team knows its code. Backed by an amazing mentor, our team's robot runs flawlessly each year.
Team Members, Left to Right: Kevin Lee, Josh Sykes, Larry Roy (Mentor), David Der Manuelian, Vishal Modi.
Public Relations & Finance
The ones behind it all: the PR team worked hard this year at expanding our sponsors and improving the look of our team, and it has helped our image immensely. Combined with Finance, our check book is in perfect equilibrium.
Team Members, Left to Right: Elona Murphy (Mentor), Laura Donald, Krista Fox, Justin Murphy, Natalie Debusschere, Lauren Ellsworth, Jill Benedict (Mentor).
Scouting
Done by the one and only: Scott, he works hard to get us competitive information about other teams, and this year's open database allows everyone to view all of the other teams.
Team Member: Scott Martin
Head Mentor
The man that drives us: Louis Martin is our head mentor for the 2010 season. Pushing us to work harder, he has done a great job leading us for the first time this year.
