Our rookie season in FIRST® was 2013-2014. Since then, we've been one of three FTC teams at Needham High. Over these many years, we have had varying amounts of success, with this season ('25-'26) being one of our best. Not only are our rankings this year some of the best (6th overall at our last qualifier), but we have also had plenty of outreach opportunities, such as our school's Fall Festival or our scrimmages.
We use a sprint-based system, where each sub-team (Hardware, Software, CAD, Documentation, Social Media) has a leader or co-leaders who meet with the rest of leadership once or twice a month to discuss our plans for the next sprint (approximately one month). This allows us to make smaller, more manageable goals every month that combine into one, more complex goal.
