FIRST® Tech Challenge (FTC)

Tell Me More

Our Junior Mountie Megabots is made up of 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students. FTC is the Middle School level team. At Northwest Robotics we have 3 teams, including 1 all girls team with a total of 31 students.

SubTEams

CAD

CAD Team designs parts for the robot, parts for marketing swag, peer awards, and more. Working with OnShape, students learn how to completely design a part from idea to creation.

Build Team

Hands-on with parts, premade or house made, this team puts them all together, and rebuilds them on the fly should something go bump a little too hard on the field.

Coding

Coding team writes the code that makes the robot do what the robot does. From moving with a controller, to performing the year's various tasks, to fully autonomous code to run hands-free for that portion of the game, it's all written here.
