Allow us to introduce FTC Team 14503: The Robo Sapiens, a robotics team consisting of six high school school students - Videet Mehta, Kaveen Shah, Rohan Dharia, Vidur Chopra, Deven Bali, and Ameya Apte - attending various high schools in the Greater Houston Area. We are participating in FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC). FTC is a program designed by FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) to inspire middle and high school students interested in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). There are about 600 FTC teams in Texas and about 4000 across America.
Our team has placed multiple times as finalists in the state of Texas and, in the most recent season (Freight Frenzy), placed top 10 in the world at FIRST's annual World Championship after reaching the semifinal round.
All of us are constantly working hard, to build and code a robot that we will use in the First Tech Challenge (FTC). This will give everyone an experience with building robots. We also want to spread robotics, coding, and gracious professionalism throughout our community.
One of the most important aspects of FIRST is outreach, or spreading STEM and robotics to the greater community. We have pursued multiple large-scale outreach events during our time in FTC.
