FTC is ramping up!

With the Challenge Reveal just around the corner, our teams are getting ready! Team members are practicing their driving skills, our Build team is learning to assemble prototypes, and our CAD and Code teams are continuing to grow their skills with Onshape and FTC Sims. Our Business team also has some great ideas for this season’s pit display!

The excitement is building, and we can’t wait to see what this season brings!
