Alliances are mainly online. Discord is a big one, but the Short Circuit Alliance is based mainly on the forum, just to try something new.
About SCA
We are a handpicked Alliance that is really casual. We select some of the most different and innovative roboteers we can find, and then throw us all together to come up with amazing ideas.
Right now, we are small. And it’s supposed to be that way. We favor a more tightly knit group rather than (very) loosely connected young engineers. But we do selectively expand. Send one of us a pm to ask for more application details, which includes an interview process.
We don’t care how successful you are as a team. We don’t even look you up on RobotEvents, unless we have a specific concern. In fact, many of our members hadn’t even gotten to the State level. But a couple of us did go to Worlds (and do fairly well there, all considering), demonstrating our wide range in skill and experience.
Another benefit is an awesome logo designed by @Xenon27 , who did my new one, as well as the entirety of our Alliance. But that’s just extra.
Please, ask questions if needed. Or send a pm for more personalized, case-specific questions.
