We are the Ubbo Tech Team from Ubbo Emmius Stationslaan in Stadskanaal, and we are participating in the First Tech Challenge (FTC).
Our team consists of six enthusiastic members. Together, we always have a great time participating in FTC. During FTC, the goal is to build and program your own robot. The robot must be designed to perform various missions on a 3.5 by 3.5 meter field. During a match, you play against two other teams. Therefore, it’s important to work well together not only within your team but also outside it. During FTC, you’ll learn skills you’ll use later in life and get acquainted with modern technology.
As mentioned, we come from Stadskanaal, a town with a strong connection to technology, but unfortunately, it’s not very well-known. With FTC, we want to raise awareness of Stadskanaal and the technology found here and in the surrounding area. We want to ensure that both young and old understand technology and see all the possibilities it offers. This is why we’re so motivated to participate in FTC, and of course, we’re also thrilled to experience all this together and learn about technology this way.
