On the field
We design, build and code a new competition robot every season, entirely in-house. In 2026 we finished as the top-ranked team in Tennessee by OPR, and every subsystem, from the drivetrain to the autonomous code, is the work of students.
Off the field
Between competitions we run some of the most-used free resources in FIRST Tech Challenge: the Worlds Advancement Tracker, Clipfarm match replays, a database of 40+ engineering portfolios and the 12,000-member FTC Discord.
