We are a team of students from Howard County who are passionate about STEM. We have competed in FIRST programs for the past few years and are now in FTC. We are also involved with the RMI - MD Regional Manufacturing Institute as student partners and are interested in learning about how STEM skills apply in manufacturing. We would like to participate in this challenge in order to use our FLL robot design skills and take them to a new level. This challenge will be an excellent opportunity for our team to collaborate and bond through a challenge that will help prepare us for the intensity of real-world manufacturing. We are excited for the challenge of rapid design, construction, programming, and documentation and the opportunity to apply the skills we have learned in robotics. We have competed in both FLL and FTC so we look forward to the challenge of using the variety of skills of each member of the team in this accelerated challenge. We would also like to participate in the competition because as an FTC team, we will be able to increase our FLL skills to better support the many FLL teams we mentor throughout the season. We are also motivated to committed to the competition in order to earn funds to help support our FTC team.
