Our Robot:
This is our robot for the 2018-2019 FTC season, code named Donovan.
Our History:
2017-2018 Season:
The Techno-Bots team first started out last season. We had no experience with robotics and this was our first year. We also didn't have any sponsors, even though we tried to email companies. After our first qualification game, the judges gave us the "Judges Award" and that motivated us to strive for success.
“This team is a bit new to First. They give no bots about being the rookies. Their impressions were enchanting like Helen of Troy. Their high ambition to learn from other teams grabbed the beat of every Judge's heart.” - The Judges at the Marysville FTC Qualifier
After we finished our first season, we decided to take classes provided by our mentors to learn about the software and the hardware side of the robot. We took these classes because we wanted to learn more about the robot and what other things we can learn that can help us for future season.
2018-2019 FTC Season:
After learning the software and hardware side of the robot, we were at that time for starting a new season. We met on the first day and started to make a new design for the robot.
The building and the coding of the arm took months to complete and our first competition was a OCCRA League. We placed 3rd in one of the OCCRA League Invitational. It was our first event of the 2018-19 season.
