It’s more than building robots. FIRST Tech Challenge teams (10+ members, grades 7-12) are challenged to design, build, program, and operate robots to compete in a head-to-head challenge in an alliance format. Participants call it “the hardest fun you’ll ever have!”* *Hosted by * *FTC team 6700. We love to share our experience, mentor new teams, and help share what makes FTC a great STEM program unlike any other. This is our 7th year in FTC. * About FTC: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.firstinspires.org_robotics_ftc_what-2Dis-2Dfirst-2Dtech-2Dchallenge&d=DwIFaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=k6Oa5GxfBPFMgGjb2r5QIoEOeBZs9xbNIpA0kLw_kFQ&m=uCc5q8YJlVsf6JqzFvsjD0Sym2cPhu5_MlbT9RmS9Q0&s=W3O45IeX1YGBicIobXqJuNqfLjecOgO9QYKInUIoDlE&e= <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.firstinspires.org_robotics_ftc_what-2Dis-2Dfirst-2Dtech-2Dchallenge&d=DwMFaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=k6Oa5GxfBPFMgGjb2r5QIoEOeBZs9xbNIpA0kLw_kFQ&m=cM5zardv-fGguMBJ7C6oBrQe8iBPZ8CvMZnXKKyCE7Y&s=Bu-kDsbXI5HEWLwbsrh76gvgopllEobA9bVzaXNLbPE&e=> About team X-BOTS -FTC Virginia Inspire Award 1st place winner / State Champions 2017 - FLL Virginia DC Division 1 State Champion 2010. https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__xbots.org&d=DwIFaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=k6Oa5GxfBPFMgGjb2r5QIoEOeBZs9xbNIpA0kLw_kFQ&m=uCc5q8YJlVsf6JqzFvsjD0Sym2cPhu5_MlbT9RmS9Q0&s=e13jjBQiErhC0qS5wY56gKS6RDu9qlpTghUx-Q-s-E0&e= <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__xbots.org_&d=DwMFaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=k6Oa5GxfBPFMgGjb2r5QIoEOeBZs9xbNIpA0kLw_kFQ&m=cM5zardv-fGguMBJ7C6oBrQe8iBPZ8CvMZnXKKyCE7Y&s=dbp_Ey9jl9Qvh4oIz7HB3nFz3bo3FsT5ldMsQ36o6wg&e=> https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__facebook.com_Xbots6700&d=DwIFaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=k6Oa5GxfBPFMgGjb2r5QIoEOeBZs9xbNIpA0kLw_kFQ&m=uCc5q8YJlVsf6JqzFvsjD0Sym2cPhu5_MlbT9RmS9Q0&s=M-hl_643Ohq-CX4oiDtgdHMivpeO8JtiobhkQG4zwa0&e= <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__facebook.com_Xbots6700&d=DwMFaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=k6Oa5GxfBPFMgGjb2r5QIoEOeBZs9xbNIpA0kLw_kFQ&m=cM5zardv-fGguMBJ7C6oBrQe8iBPZ8CvMZnXKKyCE7Y&s=Wel-0jDTWa27FooQpuMkugZ9OvfN3mtS39USMs2HxVM&e=> Thanks & have a great summer, Team X-BOTS & Nagesh B Chintada Coach, FTC Team 6700 2012/13-present Coach, FLL Team X-BOTS 2009-12 Volunteer, FLL 2010-present -- To UNSUBSCRIBE or CHANGE your settings, please visit https://listserv.jmu.edu/archives/vadcfll-l.html and select "Join or leave the list". -- VADCFLL administrative announcements are sent via VADCFLL-ANNOUNCEMENTS-L.
