Designation

What is a Hardpoint?

In aerospace engineering, a hardpoint is a reinforced station on an airframe designed to carry significant loads. It is the intersection of structural integrity and mission capability.

Hardpoint Systems adopts this philosophy in our design process. We build tools and accessories that will not yield. Tools and accessories that enable teams to focus all of their efforts on the bot. Tools and accessories capable of preserving your most valuable resource: time.

Engineering Ethos

01 // Speed is a Feature: Our products delete a huge portion of bot development overhead, enabling lightning fast iteration time. Your adversaries will stand no chance if you can test your tweaks and changes twice as fast as them. As an example of what our products can help you accomplish, see team 8151W's lethal new match auton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iWyK0cKM34&t=495s (Team RED in the right arena)
02 // Match Day Efficiency: No more wasting time mucking about with charger cables when you have 3 minutes to test make-or-break code changes before a finals match. Blessed is the team whose pit operations resemble a well-oiled machine. Cursed is the team who loses finals because their last minute patch was unsuccessful.
03 // Zero Segfaults. Zero Bloat: We reject unnecessary dependencies. Every gram of material and line of code must justify its existence. Our website is written in Svelte instead of React. The code on our brains is written in rust instead of C++. Our CAD is done with Plasticity instead the slow, cloud-only Fusion or the bloated dinosaur Solidworks.

Personnel

Principal Engineering

Hardpoint Systems is led by Martin.

We operate a lean, specialized team focused on direct execution. No account managers, no middlemen, just engineers solving problems. With a background in Systems Architecture, Embedded Programming, Industrial Design, and Optimal Control Theory, we possess the technical depth to deliver where others simply can't.
