How to Join Team 3128

Attend Narweek Events: Our Robotics recruitment event is called “Narweek”.

You must attend at least one day of Narweek - in person - to be considered for the Team.

Narweek begins with Intro Day on Friday August 25, 2023 at 3:30 PM in the robotics workshop.

Narweek continutes the following week - our workshop will open every day at 3:30 PM.

  • Monday Aug. 28 – Mechanical
  • Tuesday Aug. 29 – Controls
  • Wednesday Aug. 30 – Business
  • Thursday Aug. 31 – Marketing
  • Friday Sept. 1 – Strategy

Each department will present on their day and give a brief introduction of what they do. You will have the opportunity to meet current members, see what we do, ask questions, and check out the workshop.

When you apply to the Team, you may apply to 2 departments (maximum). You MUST attend those departments presentation days to be considered.

For example – if you are most interested in Marketing and Strategy, you must attend Wednesday (Marketing) and Friday (Strategy) of Narweek.

Time Commitment Expected

Joining Team 3128 is a large time commitment.

  • All Departments will meet 3 times a week in the fall, plus all-day Saturday (and some Sundays) from January – April.

What Team 3128 wants In a New Member

Acceptance criteria for Team 3128:

  • Ability to work well with other students as a team
  • Willingness to learn
  • Enthusiasm
  • Ability to communicate
  • Ability to remain calm under pressure
  • Willingness to meet the time commitment
  • Be a good person

These are the primary criteria our Team members will use to rank applicants. Coaches and Mentors may give input, but are not part of the new member selection process (so it’s OK to ignore the adults during Narweek). Prior robotics experience is certainly helpful, but not required. Each department has a certain number of available spots, and applicants will be given these spots (based on their ranking) until the department slate is full.

This year, each department has 6 open positions - except for Marketing (4 spots) and Strategy (5 spots).
