FTC 12736

Introduction

This page gives an overview on who is FTC 12736, Electric Mayhem Green. As well as what is FTC as a program.  This team is often referred to as the "Green team" by most people in the Electric Mayhem family. It also gives the team's history and some recent, well-known accomplishments.  

FTC, or FIRST Tech Challenge, is a program that is a part of the greater FIRST program. FTC robots play on a two vs two match on a 12ft by 12ft field. Something that is very unique to FTC is that each team must submit a 15 Engineering notebook. In this notebook, teams often provide recent accomplishments, engineering processes, coding input, team dynamics, and things they learned throughout the process during build season, both robot and outreach-wise.    

This year, Electric Mayhem Green is the varsity team between the two FTC teams at Nichols. This means that only the Green team is in the Advanced Engineering class offered by Nichols School. Students in this engineering class receive college credit through Suny Buffalo State. This team dedicates all of their time of building the robot to do during this class. Green team avoids meeting after school to make it easier to share lab space. Dedicating all the time needed to compete at competition in class rather than after school successfully, makes it so Green team and White team are completely separate  teams.

This year one of the two most proud accomplishments that Green team as done is gaining the sponsorship from Rev Robotics. We were selected as one of the #TEAMREV FTC class for the 2024-2025 Into the Deep season. We we are one out of 36 FTC teams across the world that gets to be part of Team REV. Being part of Team Rev means that every month we are given a list of tasks and completing them gives us Rev points that we can use later in the season. In order to be a part of Team Rev, teams must go through a application proccess.
