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 thankful for the amazing opportunities, to work and learn from the some of the best mentors, programers, and students in the world. I could never be more grateful.

I will be continuing to particpate in FTC robotics through High School, as well as taking on the role of team captain.

It's a really exciting time in robotics and software engineering, in a new age of AI and personal development, and I hope that we don't discourage learning for yourself in the process.

Reach out to me if you want to know more, or have something to share. I would love to talk.

Meeting some of the best teams from across the world was an incredible opportunity. Working and teams that I could only dream of.

I hope I will get the opportunity to go back someday, and meet you all once again.

I only wish I did more. Make more connections, meet more cultures, and buy more shirts.

Thank you to everyone who makes the community what it is. Gracious, kind, professional, and open.

The future has never been brighter
