Speed, Smarts, and Schematics — We Deliver!
FTC is where students design, build, and program robots to compete head‑to‑head in an alliance format. This site is a public hub for game info, events, rankings, resources, and more.
FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) is a global robotics program where students build 18” x 18” x 18” robots, program them (Java/Blocks/Python), and compete on a 12’ x 12’ field. Beyond competition, FTC builds teamwork, problem‑solving, and leadership.
Events progress from local qualifiers to regionals and world championships. Teams document their engineering process, outreach, and design in judged awards.
Each season features a brand‑new game challenge released at kickoff. Update this section with the official name, scoring summary, and useful diagrams once announced.
