Mad Rockers Robotics

Bob Jones and James Clemens students sign up here!

Mad Rockers, Team 2973, is a robotics team from Madison, AL, made up of both Bob Jones and James Clemens high schools. We give students opportunities to experience real world engineering through competitive robotics.

We compete in FIRST Robotics, check out more info here.

Organized into 4 subteams

Software Mechanical
The Programming subteam is crucial for creating a functional robot, that not only works, but runs at maximum capacity. This team is responsible for creating the programming logic between the operator’s controls and the robot’s sensors and motors. They will program any autonomous routines and any other automated functions that are used The Mechanical subteam is responsible for the manufacturing and assembly of the robot. During the design phase, they will prototype different end effectors and mechanisms that the team may potentially use. After the design is finalized and drawings are made, this team will learn how to use power tools, ranging from different saws to drills. We use these power tools to cut and assemble the metal pieces we use for our robot.
Electrical Marketing
The Electrical subteam is the bridge between the mechanical and programming elements of the robot. We work with the motors, gearboxes, and pneumatics. We are responsible for making the robot move. On the marketing subteam we play a pivotal role in securing sponsorships for the team and reaching out to potential partners. We utilize social media and creative content to raise awareness about our club’s activities and achievements, attracting both sponsors and new members. Our efforts both contribute to financially supporting the team and enhancing the club’s visibility in the community.
