<h1>One team.<br /><em>Many roles.</em></h1>
<p>SBAerospace is a single unified team. What separates members is their <strong>role</strong>: the skillset they develop and the part of the mission they own. Each role contributes to different competitions and projects throughout the year.</p>
</div>
</div>
<!-- WHY ROLES -->
<section class="section" style="background: var(--surface);">
<div class="container">
<div class="reveal" style="max-width: 760px; margin: 0 auto; text-align: center;">
<div class="section-label">How It Works</div>
<h2 class="section-title" style="margin-bottom: 1.25rem;">Your role is your starting point,<br /><em>not your ceiling.</em></h2>
<p style="color: var(--text-2); font-size: 1.05rem; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
Every member holds a role that defines their core contribution. Roles overlap, inform each other, and feed into shared outcomes. A member in the Rocketry role might work on an airframe for ARC in the fall, then collaborate with Biology on a Genes In Space experiment in the spring.
</p>
<p style="color: var(--text-2); font-size: 1.05rem; line-height: 1.8;">
Not every role touches every competition. That's intentional. Below you'll find which roles drive which projects, so you can join the role that matches what you want to build and learn.
</p>
</div>

<!-- ROLE CARDS -->

<p class="reveal" style="color: var(--text-2); margin-bottom: 2.5rem; max-width: 560px;">Each role card shows what the role does and which competitions it directly contributes to.</p>

<p style="color: var(--text-2); line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 1.25rem;">
Your role is your home base, not your limit. A fin designed by Mechanical has to fit around wires from Electronics. Biology experiments need Chemistry to validate materials. Software simulations inform Rocketry's motor selection. Nobody works in a vacuum.
</p>
<p style="color: var(--text-2); line-height: 1.7;">
We run cross-role design reviews before finalizing any build and hold weekly all-hands meetings to keep everyone aligned across competitions. Finances and Outreach make sure the work gets funded and seen.
</p>
</div>
<div class="cards-grid" style="grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr;">
<div class="card" style="grid-column: span 2;">
<h3>Weekly All-Hands</h3>
<p>Every role presents progress. Leads surface integration concerns early so nothing stalls another team's work.</p>
</div>
<div class="card">
<h3>Cross-role mentorship</h3>
<p>Electronics teaches soldering. Biology teaches experiment design. Everyone teaches and everyone learns.</p>
</div>

<h3>Shared documentation</h3>
<p>Every design file, protocol, budget sheet, and meeting note lives in our shared GitHub org and Drive.</p>
