Robotics

Mr. Miller teaching me how to program the robot

FIRST Tech Challenge

I've been participating with Team Chargers 9808 in FTC Robotics since 2024, and it's been a major part of my life ever since. I have spend countless hours building and programing robots to compete.

Over the two seasons I've been on the team, we have qualifed for the Missouri Kansas Championship both times. This year was the first time in our team's history that we advanced to the FIRST World Championship in Houston, TX.

I am so grateful for the amazing opportunities, to work and learn from the some of the best mentors, programers, and students all over the world.

I will be continuing to participate in FTC robotics through High School, helping teach programing and leading the team.

Software engineering and robotics has changed a lot. And today, I believe that the people skills were as much a part of the learning as the technical ones.

Feel free to reach out to me if you want to learn more about FIRST Tech Challenge.

Ranked 5th in Edison for a quick sec

In a world where Chargers said, "yes" to XBots

I've had to opportunity to work with some of most innovative students and mentors across the world, and I often forget that I have their contact in my phone.

The World Championship has been the most eye opening experience for me, to see the mix of peoples, cultures, and robots from students who have never seen each others faces.

Next time I'm buying more shirts.

The future is bright . . .
