FTC - FIRST Tech. Challenge
The First Tech Challenge (FTC) is a program within FIRST (For the Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) in which teams are challenged to design, build, program, and operate robots to address a technical challenge that changes every year. This year’s challenge is called Velocity Vortex; the main objective of this challenge involves shooting particles into a T-shaped pivotable tower in the center of the game field to score points. In these challenges, the robots can score points in various ways by hitting beacons on the side of the field and shooting particles into the center.
