Keep the work moving
Project management, meeting records, event planning, and the website keep the season organized.
01 / The people
Built by
a team.
Paragon's 2026–27 roster spans mechanical, software, electrical, project coordination, and outreach. Many members contribute to more than one part of the work.
Working together
Different roles. Shared goals.
The team's role plan connects engineering work with planning, safety, events, and communication.
Build across systems
Mechanical, software, and electrical groups plan the robot as one connected system.
Bring others in
Outreach and demonstrations make room for more people to try robotics firsthand.

The working loop
Talk. Make. Test.
The season plan moves from game analysis and prototypes into fabrication, programming, robot assembly, and driver practice. Team discussions help turn those tracks into a shared build.
- 01
Plan
Compare strategy ideas and decide what to try first.
- 02
Prototype
Build mechanisms and software in small, testable steps.
- 03
Iterate
Use testing and driver practice to guide the next change.
