About Us

We are teams 8099, 17103, and 20093 from Hanford High School in Richland Washington. We are a team of diverse students between the 9th and 12th grade who believe in the importance and impact of STEM. Our ultimate goal is to spread the joy of the  first program within  our community, by getting people excited about STEM.

 

Our FTC team was the first team in the area, and since then we helped Kamiakin and Richland HS start FTC teams from scratch. We are currently in the process of starting a team in Dayton and plan to start a Chiawana team as well. To keep our team sustained and thriving in future years, we have our senior team members act as “team officers” who mentor the new recruits and teach them skills to become future team leaders.

 

During the summer, we also spend time with mechanical experimenting and learning more about coding. Our members mentor an FLL team  and we readily take other mentoring opportunities. We attend 3-6 School Science nights each year to get elementary and middle school excited about science and engineering. Our members are always willing to volunteer in the first competitions. We went to Richland and Pasco FLL competitions as well as the State FLL competition. We have attended the FTC World Competition.

 

We wanted to share this website in order to document our collective progress throughout the season and assist teams with information about our mechanical design, software programming, and notebook. In addition, we will also have information about what our robots are capable of doing during the autonomous, driver-controlled, and endgame periods of the competition.
