ARCHER Robotics is a leading company in the designing and building of advanced robots. We aim to improve people's lives through accurate robotic innovation. ARCHER has experience with robots capable of conducting a wide variety of tasks such as harvesting a field of crops, connecting a space station to earth through a space elevator, and mining minerals. All of our members have committed a great deal of time, energy, and thought into this year’s project, and we keep track of each step to ensure only our best work is contributed toward a high-performing and fully operational product.
BEST Robotics has challenged teams across the country to design and build a robot that can complete a number of tasks specific to fire rescue: bringing a victim to safety, removing hazardous materials, and putting out flames. Robotics in the fire industry is a revolutionary idea that can forever change lives for the better.
When it comes to saving lives, every second matters. Robots have eliminated the human margin of error by working tirelessly, never forgetting tasks, and rarely making mistakes.
As a sixth year team, ARCHER’s main goal isn’t to win, but to learn. If we walk away at the end of the season without any trophies but a better understanding of engineering and marketing, then we had a successful year. One constant goal is to find the most unique way to get the job done effectively.

CustomFIRE
CustomFIRE is a company that builds customized firetrucks for stations across the United States. They have been designing trucks and building them since the mid 1970's. They build highly engineered trucks with bolted frame construction. We were able to tour their facility in Osseola, Wisconsin, on September 29th and were shown all the work that goes into the making of the trucks. It takes CustomFIRE around 8-10 weeks to build a truck from start to finish. They produce approximately three dozen trucks per year. When we visited, we were shown three completely different projects. No two trucks are the same because each fire department has different needs. They demonstrated the technologies they used to design and manufacture the parts such as a 3D designing software, a lazer cutter, and a bending machine.
