Our mentors (and members of last year's Power Puzzle Lego Guards) won the highest Engineering Award at the World FTC Championship in Atlanta!
FTC is the high school age FIRST Tech Challenge division of FIRST.
The FTC World Innovate Award celebrates a team that not only thinks outside the box, but also has the ingenuity and inventiveness to make their designs come to life. This award is given to the team that the judges feel has the most innovative and creative robot design solution to the FTC game. Elements of this award include elegant design, robustness, and "out of the box" thinking relating to design.
