A prototype base
Our first prototype is a base with varied capabilities, built on mecanum wheels so it can drive, strafe sideways, and turn, all at the same time.

Who we are
From FLL champions to FTC rookies. Building robots. Mentoring teams. Spreading the spark.
Welcome to the home of Team 37488, the Superconducktors. We're seven student innovators (five girls and two boys) embarking on our rookie season in the FIRST Tech Challenge — but our team has a rich history of collaboration and competition that began in 5th grade.
Our journey started in FIRST Lego League, where we competed for three consecutive seasons: Masterpiece, Submerged, and Unearthed. As rookies, we won the Breakthrough Award for our Innovation Project and custom robot architecture. The two seasons that followed sharpened the work — tighter portfolios, harder prototypes — and in our final FLL year we helped launch a younger team into the program.
Now we're transitioning from Lego to metal and high-powered electronics — and we're bringing the Superconducktor spark to the FTC field this year.

Three things we're building right now.
Vectors and OnBot Java
Mecanum wheels only go where you point them if the math is right. We're learning the vectoring behind them and writing our code in OnBot Java, building on libraries instead of starting from scratch.
Meet the squads →Websites for local businesses
We build and update websites for local businesses, set up for search engines and AI, for a donation instead of a fee. Along the way we're learning to write a business plan, pitch, and manage our own funds.

Back the flock
Want to mentor us, sponsor us, or get a website from us?
We're not taking new members for the 2026–27 season. We'd still love mentors and sponsors, and local businesses can get a website from our team for a donation instead of a fee.
