===Summary here===
===Team Commitment===
The OCRobotX team has presented the University and College Staff, including the OC Dean with several briefs indicating the willingness of engineering students to participate fully in the competition. Enthusiasm has been expressed by students as early as the freshman class which includes high school Running Start participants.
====Recruitment====
Recruitment strategy has purposefully focused on 2nd and 3rd year sophomores who pivoted into the Junior Class and make the core of this year’s participants leveraging the RobotX competition as their Senior Project next fall.
====Think outside the box====
Encouraging non-engineering students to participate, leverages human capital for the area of public relations and finance, relieving engineering students of the burden of raising capital and engineering. Some of the team members have several years of professional logistics experience stemming from the military and private industry. Utilizing non engineering student participants as resources for solving financial and logistics issues in-tandem with the develop team ensures a high rate of success in meeting the goal of sending students to the Australian competition.
====RobotX Capstone for RoboNation====
The Kitsap Peninsula has a robust mentorship program of RoboNation Initiatives—SeaPerch, Robosub—sponsored by Keyport and PSNS. Every opportunity to exploit the home team advantage to inspire STEM competition at a K-12 level will be afforded the program facilitators. The OC team has demonstrated that several students who have been previous RoboNation participants where inspired to join the OCRobotX team, and that the RobotX competition can become the RoboNation Capstone event.
===Additional Information===
The principal authors felt it was necessary to include additional information as embedded documents to illustrate the long-term commitment that members of the team have despite the debilitating social and physical separation from the College and University campus that the current pandemic has caused. They are offered as addendums to the provided information to assure the ONR application adjudicators that every effort will be made to follow through with the project commitment.
