01
Curiosity
Ask why, test assumptions, and learn the system—not just the fix.
Where we started
Built by students who wanted to compete.
The Probots came together around a shared love of robotics, learning how to divide responsibilities and build a rhythm as a team. That early groundwork—teamwork, iteration, and a drive to keep improving—earned us recognition and an invitation to compete on the world stage.
We carried those lessons straight into FIRST Tech Challenge, where the engineering ceiling is a lot higher.

The step up
More scale. More systems. More room to grow.
Moving into FTC means learning an entirely new engineering stack: aluminum structures, motors and electronics, custom CAD, 3D printing, Java, sensors, autonomous navigation, and match strategy.
That complexity is exactly why we made the move. FTC gives students room to specialize while still learning how every subsystem must work together.
What stays the same
Our identity is bigger than the parts we use.
New tools, same foundation.
02
Teamwork
Share context early and make room for every student to contribute.
03
Resilience
Use bugs, broken parts, and missed runs as data for the next iteration.
04
Impact
Build STEM confidence beyond our own team through outreach and mentoring.
Meet the students doing the work.
Our team spans building, programming, CAD, documentation, strategy, and outreach.
