Our Philosophy The best way to learn is hands-on experience, and that is how we feel at Team Entropy. We are allowed to build, create and push our thinking with minimal limitations. The robot is designed and built by us, the students. Of course, we have advisors to provide insight and know-how from their many years of experience along with management. Our students are divided into groups so we can explore what we enjoy most. The mechanical team designs and assembles the robot. The electrical team wires the robot and installs the pneumatics. The programming students write the code to control the movement and autonomous operation. Our website and animation teams round out the mix, providing additional opportunities for student involvement. The strong hands-on approach provides a positive learning experience and teaches us the value of teamwork and commitment. |

Team Motto |
In 2005, the Torque motto was suggested by a student on the mechanical team, and was adopted immediately. |

| Unofficially, it means "total chaos" - which is what we do for 6 weeks. This team name has stuck with us even though most freshmen have to look it up in the dictionary. The official definition is: A measure of the disorder or randomness in a closed system, or a measure of the loss of information in a transmitted message. The formula, according to Shannon, gives the entropy H(M) of a message M in bits: H(M) = -log2 p(M) Where p(M) is the probability of message M. | |
