MillisecondBots - Our FTC Team
|
We are FIRST Tech Challenge team 16806, the Millisecondbots, from Central High School in St. Paul. We are the younger sibling of our sister team FRC team Minutebots 4536. Our team is made up of a few robotics program veterans as well as several new people. We have been nominated for awards and won a design award in our 2021-2022 season. Our team engages new people with what robotics can be while giving them a bit of time to get used to it before FRC. The team introduces the basics of CAD, programming, prototyping and more! We are currently in our third competing year and welcome students of all backgrounds to join us.
