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 23, 2024 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. 26 – Mechanical
- Tuesday Aug. 27 – Controls
- Wednesday Aug. 28 – Strategy
- Thursday Aug. 29 – Business/Marketing
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 Thursday (Marketing) and Wednesday (Strategy) of Narweek.

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.
2024-2025 Open Positions: Mechanical (8 spots), Controls (8 spots), Strategy (5 spots), and Business/Marketing (6 spots).
