My Students

My students are part of a FIRST FTC robotics team that has grown tremendously as individuals and as a team. They are a diverse group coming from varied backgrounds and skill levels, and they are eager to begin solving this season's challenge!

My students are tomorrow's innovators and problem-solvers!

The team consists of a mix of boys and girls and the work, knowledge, and leadership experiences are shared across the team. Together they earned their first bid to state competition too!

My Project

My students have, in a sense, have outgrown the standard kit of parts that is provided to all teams and would like to build and program a more advanced drive train on which to build their creations. Up to now, the students have been doing some fundraising to buy the needed parts slowly, but without your help it will take a number of years to complete. The motors, gears, plates, cables, belts, and other items requested here will complete the project.

Please help my students to build a more challenging robot!

This robotic drive train will allow my students to explore more advanced methods of programming and mechanisms. They are really looking forward to creating without limitation!
