WHO WE ARE

Built as one engineering system

The Cosmobots compete in FIRST Tech Challenge, but the robot is only one output of the team.

Mechanical design, fabrication, controls, autonomous development, scouting, documentation, fundraising, and public outreach all run in parallel. Every subsystem has an owner, but design decisions are reviewed across the team because a faster mechanism is useless if software cannot control it or the pit cannot service it between matches.

Work on BioBuzz begins with the same standard used during DECODE: define the constraint, model the solution, build the smallest useful test, record the result, and revise from evidence.

9Current members

Mechanical, programming, strategy, and outreach responsibilities are assigned across one integrated team.

$47,250+Funds raised

Financial and in-kind support has funded hardware, tools, travel, testing, and community programs.

Top 1%2026 performance

Worldwide non-penalty, autonomous, and driver-controlled scoring all placed within the top one percent.

30+Demos and workshops

Hands-on programs have brought robotics into schools, libraries, colleges, and community spaces.

NEXT SEASON

From DECODE results to BioBuzz preparation

01 / ANALYZE

Carry forward what held up under match pressure.

We are reviewing mechanism reliability, autonomous repeatability, driver workflow, wiring access, and repair time from the 2026 robot.

02 / PREPARE

Build capability before the game defines the machine.

Off-season work centers on manufacturing consistency, software architecture, sensor testing, inventory, and role-specific training.

03 / EXECUTE

Enter kickoff ready to test, not just brainstorm.

BioBuzz development will begin with measurable requirements and a documented decision trail from concept through competition.

Organizations that make the work possible

Support arrives as funding, materials, fabrication access, software, tools, and technical guidance. Each contribution removes a real constraint from the season.
