Motto
To Conquer the Stars
We are Cosmobotics, a Robotics Team based in Austin, Texas. We have embarked on a journey to inspire and cultivate a passion for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) within our members and our community. Our mission is driven by the belief that innovation is the cornerstone of progress, and through robotics, we aim to be at the forefront of this transformative movement.
Our Purpose:
Inspire Passion: We are dedicated to igniting a lifelong love for STEM disciplines among our members, fostering curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. We encourage them to dream big, take risks, and embrace the challenges that come with solving real-world problems.
Promote Inclusivity: We strive to create an inclusive environment that welcomes diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and skill sets. We believe that diversity fuels innovation, and every voice contributes to our collective success.
Learn Through Hands-On Experience: Through robotics, we provide a platform for hands-on learning. We equip our members with practical skills, teamwork, and leadership experience that extend far beyond the classroom, preparing them for future careers in STEM fields.
Foster Collaboration: Collaboration is at the heart of our team. We encourage the exchange of ideas and knowledge, both within our team and with our local and global communities. Together, we can achieve much more than any one individual.
Community Engagement: We are committed to giving back to our community. We actively engage in outreach programs, workshops, and events to inspire the next generation of STEM enthusiasts, sharing our knowledge and passion with others.
Pursue Excellence: We set high standards for ourselves in design, engineering, programming, and project management. We view challenges as opportunities for growth and innovation and always go all in.
Compete at the Highest Level: We participate in FTC Robotics, pushing the boundaries of our knowledge and skills. We aim to represent our school and community with integrity, sportsmanship, and a commitment to continuous improvement!
As members of the Cosmobotics Robotics Team, we embrace these principles and aspire to make a meaningful impact on our lives and the world around us. We are not just building robots; we are building the future of STEM innovation and leadership.
So what are you waiting for? Come and join us on this exciting journey, and together, we'll empower future innovators, inspire change, and engineer a brighter tomorrow!

Our Team is Split into 3 Subsections in order to be as Efficient as Possible:
Hardware Subteam: Designs, CADs, & Builds the Robot
Programming Subteam: Creates Autonomous and Drive Code for the Robot
Marketing Subteam: Manages all Outreach (Community Projects), helps with Financing and Budgeting, Manages Socials, Engineering Portfolio, and Marketing
A Weekly Agenda for Our Subteams from Mid-August
Hardware
Our Hardware Team is responsible for designing and CADing our robot. We use the engineering design process, CAD, ingenuity, power tools, and elbow grease to build the robot that will take us to victory on the field! Pictures & records of our robot are in our team gallery at the bottom of this page!
Software
Our Software Team holds the essentials for the brains of the robot. They code everything inside out about our robot, from creating the FieldCentricTeleOp Code, to creating Automatic Loading code, to coding all 12 autonomi for the season. As of current, our programming team is working on studying Roadrunner, Vuforia, April Tags, Odometry, creating TeleOp Code, creating the 12 Autonomi for Maximum Points, & Creating Automatic Scoring Parameters and Functions in Order to Maximize Points during the Driver Period. Pictures & records of coding progress are in our team gallery at the bottom of this page!
Marketing
Our Outreach Team is the backbone of the team operation, essential to keeping the team up and running. They manage socials, finances, marketing, our engineering portfolio, and so much more! As of current, our Outreach Team is working on Recording Team Progress, Gathering Sponsorships, Fundraising, Hosting Various STEM Projects, Merch Design, Contacting Mentors, Recruiting Members, and Creating our Engineering Portfolio.
