FTC (FIRST Tech Challenge) is an international program that challenges middle school and high school students to build, program, and drive a robot designed for a unique challenge that changes every year. Not quite like Battle Bots, we work collaboratively and compete with other teams rather than against them. Each year the game puts four robots in a 16x16ft arena, two robots forming a blue alliance and the other two forming a red alliance. No teams know who their alliance partners will be until competitions begin, encouraging students to meet other teams, support other students, and build positive relationships throughout the season. You can find all of this year's game and season materials/resources in this section.
