What is something that you think is unique about your robot this season? What about your robot do you think would make it stand out at competition?
Our robot features a lightweight yet durable modular chassis and an adaptive intake system that automatically aligns with game elements, improving efficiency during autonomous and tele-op periods.
What types of Outreach do you plan to do for this season? Which of those Outreach initiatives are you most proud of?
We focus on mentoring rookie FTC teams and organizing STEM workshops for younger students. We are most proud of training 5 new teams (#30761, #30751, #30771, #30749, #30754) and expanding the FTC community in our region. In addition, we reached over 2,500 students through our outreach activities — delivering ArekeroBox excavation kits to underprivileged public schools, creating Walking Man automata projects with elementary students, and organizing Sun Clock workshops for 5th graders to spark their curiosity in science and engineering.
Describe an element of your code which you think will be most advantageous to your performance over the season.
Our autonomous navigation system uses AprilTag localization and PID-controlled motion, allowing precise scoring and consistent path tracking even under challenging field conditions.
What competitions will you be attending? Which of the ones that you listed are you looking forward to the most?
We will compete in the Istanbul Local FTC Tournament, and we’re especially excited to demonstrate our improved autonomous system and meet other innovative teams across Turkey.
How will you be organizing your team at competitions?
We divide our team into subgroups—mechanical, programming, and outreach and hold weekly sprint meetings to track progress using Trello and Gantt charts. During competitions, our strategy focuses on reliability and alliance synergy: consistent scoring, quick cycle times, and strong communication with alliance partners.
Describe a unique or noteworthy strategic device or element that you think would be useful for this game.
This season, we adopted a dual-intake strategy that allows simultaneous collection and delivery of game elements. Combined with an optimized autonomous path and real-time driver feedback system, it increases our scoring efficiency while maintaining stability.
How would you describe your design process? How many options/strategies do you compare? How do you visualize your designs before building?
Our design process follows an iterative “plan–prototype–test–improve” cycle. We begin with brainstorming and concept sketches, then move to CAD modeling in Fusion 360 to simulate movement and stress points. Each prototype is tested for functionality, and improvements are documented in our engineering notebook for continuous refinement.
