While FLL (FIRST Lego League) is focused on developing and exploring topics within the elementary and middle school levels, FTC (First Tech Challenge) is focused on providing late middle school students and general high school students with designing, operating, and strategizing more advanced robotics through numerous additional factors. Unlike FRC (FIRST Robotics Competition), FTC provides a more welcoming environment to students interested in becoming involved in a robotics team without much technical experience or a huge payment installation. FTC consists of teams that are largely maintained by students with guidance from adult coaches or mentors.
