Subteam Spotlight: GPT

This week, Bear Metal has been working tirelessly on the robot and other projects. We have finalized our design and have moved on from the prototyping process to now fabricating our final product. Our fabrication team has been working vigorously this week to get as many designs made up as soon as possible. Assembly is putting together the parts from fabrication into the first iteration of our robot. The kit bot has been handed off to programing for their final touches of the code. 

For today’s subteam spotlight, we have the GPT, which stands for General Programming Team. This team is a relatively new subteam with its first season being 2024. This subteam takes care of all of our coding needs outside the robot. This includes our scouting app, scouting server, competition and travel pits inventory software system, and any other software projects. Our scouting app has come a long way since its early beta, and they plan to make this software available to other teams. They have greatly increased our scouting efficiency which increases our alliance selection speed in the process. Stay tuned for more information on the availability of our scouting app. 

For more updates this season, please refer to our YouTube and Instagram. Here we post weekly update videos and more behind the scenes content on how Bear Metal works. This has been a great week for Bear Metal, and we’ll see you next week for week four.
