FTC Team 21605
We are FTC Team 21605. We started as a two member team last October but intent to attract new members for the next season.
What Inspired You to Make This?
We need to inspire the next generation of engineers. FIRST is one of the best (the best) programs out there to achieve that. It's unique combination of lively competitions while fostering companionship and working together is ideally suited for this purpose. Building an FTC competition robot is a combination of mechanical engineering, computing and electrical engineering all to be accomplished in a fairly short period of time. It's a good preparation of what lies ahead if you decide to go into engineering.
