COMPETITIONS

First Tech Challenge (FTC) is a thrilling robotics competition designed for students in middle and high school. It offers an engaging platform where teams design, build, and program robots to compete in exciting challenges. FTC promotes collaboration, innovation, and problem-solving as participants strategize, iterate, and compete with their robots. With a focus on STEM education, teamwork, and gracious professionalism, FTC inspires young minds to explore the world of robotics and develop valuable skills for the future.

Sumo bots are designed to compete similar to a Sumo wrestling competition. These exciting events challenge robots to push their opponents out of a ring or immobilize them within a designated time frame. Participants build and their robots and controllers and strategically execute winning moves. Sumo bot competitions foster engineering skills, creativity, and strategic thinking while providing an exhilarating showcase of robotic capabilities. It's a thrilling way to test the design, and agility of of these compact and formidable machines.

Micromouse is a fascinating robotics competition where small autonomous robots navigate complex maze-like structures. Participants design and program their micromouse robots to solve the maze as quickly as possible, overcoming obstacles and making intelligent decisions along the way. The competition combines elements of robotics, programming, and algorithm optimization, pushing participants to showcase their problem-solving skills and ingenuity in creating efficient maze-solving strategies.

Speed drafting competitions are thrilling events that challenge participants to showcase their drafting and technical drawing skills under time constraints. In these competitions, participants are given a set of specifications or a design problem and are required to create accurate and detailed drawings within a limited time frame. With precision and speed, contestants use computer-aided design (CAD) software to produce high-quality drawings. Speed drafting competitions foster quick thinking, attention to detail, and the ability to work efficiently under pressure, making them exciting showcases of drafting talent.
