Team of the Week: 

We are a family and community team from Lansdale Pennsylvania that is student run. Our team is constantly learning and improving in FIRST and works closely with many other FTC teams in the community. We made the Pennsylvania State competition the last two years being on the winning alliance as well as winning the connect award. Our goal in the 2025-2026 season is to make it to the World stage.

LOAD Robotics would like to say thank you to our first Team of the Week, and wish them luck getting to the World Championship next year!

We had a strong season start this year and gained a lot of attention, but we were still considered underdogs at Worlds. Luckily, we teamed up with our best friends Green Machines in playoffs. With them we made it all the way to Finalist Alliance in Ochoa. I think together we proved that an alliance with the right strategy and teamwork can become "more than the sum of their parts."

LOAD Robotics would like to congratulate Open Source on making it to the playoffs with their partners at the World Championship, and wish them luck for next year! Thanks for being Team of the Week!

We are team 24457 Typhoon Stormbots from Ajax Ontario. We are a 2 time Finalist Alliance Captain at our qualifier events in Ontario and exceeded our expectations for our provincial meet. Ontario is a very competitive province so we are very proud of our results. We mentor 6 different FTC teams and sponsor 2 FLL teams. 

One of our most proud achievements was gaining our nickname THE GODS OF DIY. This is due to the amount of reused parts we have on our robot. A lot of the lifts and structural pieces are reused in wacky ways that are actually very efficient. We also once 3D printed over 30 spools. Each with their own designs and we mix and matched them to make one massive unbreakable spool. 

We are also in the process of designing and making our own competitor to Road Runner. We call it Melvin Pathing and it is still in development. It will be open sourced if we find that it is able to be a successor to either one of them.

LOAD Robotics would like to congratulate Typhoon Stormbots for their hard work this season, and wish them luck for next year! Their GODS OF DIY nickname sounds awesome, and we are looking forward to learning more about Melvin Pathing. Thanks for being Team of the Week!

We are CNapSys a FTC team from Romania and what makes our team stand out is the connection and the strong bonds that unite our group. We are very focused on maintaining a healthy environment, that supports effective collaboration. Beyond that, we intend on connecting with teams around the world, in order to meet new people and get valuable opportunities. Driven by this goal, we’ve started doing virtual meetings under the project CNapSys around the world with teams from countries like Canada, Turkey, UK, USA, Ukraine, Greece and many other countries to come..

LOAD Robotics would like to congratulate CNapSys for their hard work this season, and wish them luck for next year! We would love to work with your team in the future! Thanks for being Team of the Week!

We strive to foster innovation, and it has paid off through the season. We have 3 of the top 10 teleop solo sample records, and we're going to MTI. We were in the Edison Division Finalist Alliance at Worlds. 

We've presented at local software conferences, worked with legislation, and are developers of Pedro Pathing. This means we have directly impacted the (estimated) 500 teams that use Pedro.

LOAD Robotics would like to congratulate RevAmped Robotics for their amazing teleop record! We are looking forward to meeting your team at MTI, and good luck! Thanks for being Team of the Week!

We are a rookie team looking to step up our game next year. Last year, we managed to start our program and build our robot in just two months (we started in January) and still win second place in the think award at our Leagues championship. I believe our team stands out in the passion that formed around robotics as soon as it was introduced to the community. Our school didn't give us a dime to fundraise toward our team, but members went out and raised $2500 in just two weeks so we could compete. This year, we're already looking into research opportunities and fundraising. Members are all extremely excited for next year and local team 9848 Gearview (worlds Inspire Award winners) have said they cannot believe the quick progress we've had and think that we are a team to watch out for in the future. Every member participates in the team, and the passion behind it is obvious. I hope to share that with the community as we work on starting a team at my old middle school and mentoring a team from Nigeria. All in all, our FTC team has already created the opportunity for many in the community to explore a passion in robotics and it is only expanding as the program continues.

LOAD Robotics would like to congratulate Flameforge Robotics for their hard work this season! It's impressive that you were able to accomplish so much in only 2 months! Thanks for being Team of the Week!

One of the things that really makes our team stand out is the passion for not only robotics. We like mixing robotics with fun and glitter. At every competition, we try making our surroundings a fun place because we are an extremely friendly team. Also Team CSH stands out due to a combination of technical innovation, team culture, and community involvement.

LOAD Robotics would like to congratulate Team CSH on making it to the finals at Worlds! We love how you mix robots with glitter! Thanks for being Team of the Week!

We are an all girl, community robotics team (grades 7 - 12) from Kalispell, MT.  We have been to Worlds four of our last nine seasons. We believe that growth and teamwork are infinitely more important than winning - but Houston IS quite an experience!  Our mission is to encourage and inspire all children, especially girls, to pursue STEM activities.  Our strength is being an all around, balanced team - we have been recognized for the Inspire Award five times.  Currently, our focus is to take what we've learned over the years and bring real life solutions to our community, through adaptive 3D printed gadgets for seniors, retrofitting 6 volt cars for low mobility kids and building pet wheelchairs.  We are excited for this year!

Hi, we are Wilsobotics from London, UK. Our rookie season was Into the Deep and we reached the UK nationals finals, which we are quite proud of, as our robot couldn't score any points in the January scrimmage. We became well known in the uk FTC community for giving out mini robot keyrings. Also, we are proficient in breaking servos, with a total of 7 rendered broken so far.

Next year, we are aiming to advance our team further (hopefully to the European premier event) and make a more competitive robot, and we would also like to meet other teams and learn from them. 

Thanks for being Team of the Week!

We are a team of almost all rookies. There is one senior and nine juniors (our school only is juniors and seniors). Our senior did outreach all of last year and knows barely anything about the robot itself. He is learning with us and we all have to start from the bottom together. I want them to know that we want to be engaged with the community. We want to do interviews with other teams and get to know them more. We want people to know us and we want to know others.

Thanks for being Team of the Week!

Hi! We are FTC Team #14340 Darkbots, based in Ipswich, QLD, Australia. As a new team, we are constantly brainstorming, questioning, and learning something new. We are working with other 20+ FTC teams with online video calls to help learn, and develop as a team. Our goal this year is to win Inspire 1 or Winning Alliance Captain at our regionals, and qualify for the Australian National Championship in December. Our ultimate goal however is qualifying for WORLDS. 

Thanks for being Team of the Week!
