Our Team

Our comprehensive suite of professionals caters to a diverse team, ranging from seasoned architects to renowned engineers.

Alec Stickle

Alec is a senior at Heritage High School in Lynchburg, Virginia, and Central Virginia Governor’s School for Science and Technology. He was our technician at all of our competitions and worked on the electrical wiring and claw mount throughout the build season. Alec will be attending Georgia Tech in the fall.

Alec also swims for his high school, and was a state finalist this year!

Benjamin Ziegler

Benjamin is a junior at Jefferson Forest High School in Bedford County, Virginia, and Central Virginia Governor’s School for Science and Technology. He was a part of the software team, but focused more on visual aspects of the events as the competitions grew nearer. Benjamin helped design and make the team flag and buttons.

Benjamin is the first chair French horn player at his high school, and plays soccer for his school’s soccer team!

Bennett Eggleston

Bennett is a freshman at Compass Academy in Bedford County, Virginia. He was on the superstructure team, and focused on building, rebuilding, and fine-tuning our scissor lift throughout the build and competition seasons. He also started designing a swerve drive for the off season, a potential improvement to our robot.

Bennett designs 3D-printable nerf guns on OnShape.

Braedon Watson

Braedon is a freshman at E.C. Glass High School in Lynchburg, Virginia. He was our human player for many of our matches, helping us score as many points as we could. He put lots of work into the drivetrain, bumpers, and used his background in welding to good use throughout the season.

Braedon loves acting! He has performed in many plays at his high school, including Peter Pan and Footloose.

We’ve worked with some of the best companies.
