The Five Teams

Competes in the Solar Car Challenge. The team builds a fully custom motorized vehicle and tunes it for maximum solar efficiency, working across mechanical and electrical engineering — chassis and drivetrain on one side, array, battery, and motor controller on the other.

Members design, manufacture, and program an autonomous boat for an international competition held by RoboNation — a field made up largely of university programs. The boat has to navigate a course, identify objects, and complete tasks with no driver.

The Martin robotics team, Redshift Robotics, designs, builds, and programs a robot to complete tasks both autonomously and under driver control in the FIRST Robotics Competition. The season runs on a fixed build window, so the team works to a schedule from kickoff to competition.

The Martin Aeronautics Rocketry Society is made up of a design team and a build team whose work is tested each year at the American Rocketry Challenge. Designs are simulated and refined before anything is cut, then flown against a strict altitude and duration target.

Members build and operate RVR and AVR drones that fly in a competition hosted by Bell. The work splits between the airframes themselves, the autonomous flight code that runs the AVR missions, and the piloting for the remote-vehicle rounds.
