FIRST Tech Challenge India

We’re excited to share that - Team Aperture Robotics ( #23762) from Katy, Texas, USA, has created a fantastic FTC eBook — a free, beginner-friendly guide that captures the true spirit of FIRST®: creativity, teamwork, Gracious Professionalism®, and Coopertition®. 🌍💡

Team Aperture Robotics and Rohith Anand poured their passion and experience into this guide, making it a valuable resource for rookie and veteran teams alike. 🚀⚙️

With their permission, we printed a copy and presented it ceremoniously to Vishwakarma Vidyalaya, Pune – a school that is now forming its rookie FTC team this season. 🙌🤖
