FIRST Tech Challenge

What is FTC?

FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) is an international robotics competition for students in grades 7-12. Teams design, build, and program robots to compete in a new challenge that changes each season. The competition fosters creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving as teams work together to accomplish tasks and score points during matches. In addition to the robot game, teams also engage in community outreach and document their journey in an Engineering Portfolio. FTC encourages learning, collaboration, and innovation, preparing students for future careers in STEM.

Our Projects

FLOBOT CART: Currently, Team Fusion's FTC team is working on an autonomous robot cart that follows a face around. We plan to bring this to the competition to showcase it and use it for efficiency.

OPTIMUS: This is our robot that is under development for the 2024-25 FTC season, Into The Deep. We are using multiple complex mechanisms and AI for this robot.
