RoboFalcons thrives because of the engineers, educators, and professionals who give their time to guide our students. Join us as a mentor and make a real difference.
Why Mentor With Us
What mentors do
Our mentors are embedded partners — not just advisors. You’ll work hands-on alongside students in areas that match your expertise.
🔧 Mechanical Engineering
Guide students through CAD design, fabrication, and assembly. Help them understand material selection, tolerances, and how to iterate under competition constraints.
💻 Software & Controls
Teach programming best practices, autonomous path planning, PID control, and computer vision. Our programmers are eager to learn from real-world engineers.
⚡ Electrical Systems
Support students with wiring, pneumatics, sensor integration, and power management. Electrical mentors ensure our robot is safe and reliable on the field.
📊 Business & Outreach
Coach our business team on grant writing, sponsor relations, and presentations. Help students develop professional communication and project management skills.
🎯 Strategy & Scouting
Work with our drive team on match strategy, scouting analysis, and alliance selection. Competitive FIRST experience is a plus but not required.
🛡️ Safety & Wellness
Champion a culture of safety in the shop. Our safety captain needs a mentor who understands OSHA guidelines, PPE requirements, and team wellbeing.
