Our latest Robot! More details in the Ultimate Goal page below

I formed an FTC team in the summer of 2018 with my dad as the coach.  We called it Serenity Now! since we are huge fans of Seinfeld in my family.

​

The first order of business was to research the competition and figure out which build system to go with.  I also had to recruit people for my team.  First I asked one of my closest friends to join. Then me and my dad set up a google form and advertised it on Facebook and several school mailing lists.  We then interviewed a bunch of kids who showed interest, and recruited 6 more.  Another couple of my friends joined, but 4 others were kids I hadn't met before.

​

We got a starter kit from Rev Robotics, and started putting together a test robot in the summer.  I set up a Slack workspace for our team, a google groups email list, and started holding regular weekly meetings in the garage to start building a test robot to get familiar with the system.  I also set up Android studio, and started learning Java more extensively.

​

I had a couple of the team members start designing a website for our team.  We held a logo competition to pick a logo.  We also brainstormed ideas for outreach events we could do.  But mostly we focused on learning the FTC code framework and getting a simple robot to do line following.

​

In 2020, we pitched to a medical 3D printing startup in Fremont called Printerprezz, and successfully got them to sponser us.

The 2018-2019 season was called Rover Ruckus, the 2019-2020 Skystone, and the current 2020-2021 season Ultimate Goal.  Our accomplishments in these seasons are shown in their own project pages below.
