About Us

Students. Classmates. Teammates.

Composed of 12 members, TimberX has a small but dedicated team of individuals who tirelessly work every day towards the successful performance of the team and robot. The team hails members from four different states as well as eleven countries, and utilizes the different experiences of each member to introduce new ways of thinking and encourage collaboration, making the team stronger together.

 

TimberX is a unique experience beyond simply being a "robotics team." We all eat at the same table, go to the same school, and live under the same roof, and that's what keeps our community strong. When we often find ourselves spending the entire day working, staying up late at night to work out a problem, or waking up early before everyone else to go work out with the rest of the team, it cements the image of our brotherhood. It's what makes TimberX special.

Meet the Team

Currently composed of 13 members, with contributers from 4 different states and 8 unique countries
