it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
These EVA foam tiles are needed for our FTC robotics team to quickly set up practice fields in our classroom and afterschool workspace. These interlocking tiles are lightweight and easy to assemble, allowing us to create a clean, cushioned surface anywhere which aligns to the rules of the game. Using game specific mats will also allow us to test our odometry and autonomous routines in advance to debug issues so that we are better prepare for matches. Using these mats also helps reduce noise and fatigue, making long meetings or build sessions more comfortable for team members and neighboring classrooms.
