We learned how 3D printing is useful in the real world, and how we can apply it to FTC as we create custom designed parts to maximize our robots abilities!

We learned about how doctors use robotics in their jobs. 

We saw robots that are created for medical purposes and space research. We got to see how robotics can be used in the real world.

The tour was very inspiring as it showed us our FTC experiences can lead to helping a multitude of people all across the world!

We mentored another rookie team from Annapolis, MD (Eagles #19642) by answering any questions they had.

We met with the Eagles team multiple times and talked about gracious professionalism, our experience while volunteering and during a qualifier,  logistics, and game strategy.

After volunteering at a qualifier, we learned a lot of beneficial information about the logistics of the competition that we were able to share with the Eagles team.

We also assisted them with coming up with a game strategy for competitions. We helped them better understand circuits, ownership, and cycling

We hosted two info sessions about FLL Explore, FLL, and FTC at our local libraries. We started out by showing our robot to those interested in the field of FTC, as well as those interested in starting a team themselves. To help them with this process, we received their contact information so we could potentially mentor these teams. Additionally, during these events, we showed younger kids, whom we recognized were interested in robotics our past FLL robots, to inspire them to join the FIRST program. 

At the beginning of the season, we received guidance from Pankaj Oberoi, an experienced coach.  He helped us think of new ways to design our chassis: to make it functional, efficient, and durable.
