New Award Announced!
One of the exciting changes to FTC this season is the addition of the Design Award. Teams will be allowed to use aluminum and polycarbonate sheet to design and fabricate elements for their robots. The Design Award will be given to teams who come up with creative ways to use this material in functional and aesthetic ways. This allows team to incorporate elements of industrial design into their bots. We can’t wait to see what you come up with!
