Seven of us (five girls and two boys) in five specialized squads. From CAD design to sponsor pitches, every squad works with the others to ensure a cohesive result. Right now that means a prototype base on mecanum wheels, a crash course in vectoring and OnBot Java, and a fundraiser that builds websites for local businesses.
Mechanical Design Squad M.D.S.
Owns the physical architecture: chassis, drivetrain, and manipulators. Right now that means our prototype base on mecanum wheels. Builds 3D CAD assemblies, prototypes scoring mechanisms, and produces the technical diagrams and CAD documentation for the Engineering Portfolio.
K
Kashvi S.
Mechanical Design Squad Lead
Three years in FIRST Robotics, now leading on chassis design and CAD documentation.
Outside of robotics: science, animals, music, basketball, and school choir.
A
Aadhya Y.
Mechanical Design Specialist
Always first to volunteer and always up for trying something new.
Brings creative ideas and mechanical design chops to the build, plus the
leadership to push business operations forward.
Electrical Design & Assembly Squad E.D.A.S.
Brings the robot to life: wiring, sensor mounting, battery management, and motor controllers. Handles physical assembly, color-coded wiring harnesses, IMU and odometry pod integration, and ensures every electrical connection is competition-ready.
I
Ibby A.
Electrical Design & Assembly Lead
Hands-on experience with 3D printing, electronics, and microcontrollers.
Comfortable across hardware and software, and a steady presence on the team.
Autonomous Squad A.S.
Owns the first 30 seconds of every match. Programs AprilTag-based computer vision, IMU heading correction, odometry, and pathfinding. Scores points before a human ever touches the controller.

Anna G.
Autonomous Squad Lead
Three-year robotics veteran with a creative, methodical approach to problem-solving.
Outside of robotics: human biology, art, and choir.
TeleOps & Driving Squad T.D.S.
Owns the 2-minute TeleOp period. Works out the mecanum vectoring that lets a driver drive, strafe, and turn at the same time, programs custom gamepad mappings (asymmetric stick layouts, one-button score/intake macros), trains primary and backup drivers, and builds manual fallbacks for every macro. Speed and intent over fancy buttons.

Anvay K.
TeleOps & Driving Lead
Three-year robotics veteran on the driver controls.
Outside of robotics: video games, piano, and MMA.
Business Operations & Outreach Squad B.O.O.S.
Acts as the team's startup founders. Runs our website fundraiser: writes the business plan, pitches local businesses, and manages the donations that fund the season. Also leads sponsor pitches and writes the Engineering Portfolio narrative. Most importantly, drives the team through the season to be ready on game day.

Nora D.
Business Operations & Outreach Lead
Organized, detail-oriented, and equally fluent in code and graphic design.
Keeps budgets on track and sponsor pitches sharp. Also part of the school leadership crew.

Arya I.
Business Operations & Outreach Specialist
Fun, bold, and never short on ideas.
Deep in business operations: leads the pitches and makes sure everyone on the team walks in prepared.
Build season · 2026–2027
Where we are right now.
The 2026–2027 FTC season was revealed on May 2nd
(watch the reveal)
and kicked off in September. League meets begin in November, so this fall is about turning
our prototype base into a competition robot and raising the money to build it.
