Hi, I'm Rahul, a freshman at UCLA studying computer science. As I enter this next chapter of my life, I am quite heartbroken that I am leaving behind my favorite hobby throughout high school—FTC robotics. Despite FTC being my absolute favorite these last 4 years, rest assured, it was not the smoothest of journeys and was, in fact, a complete rollercoaster. Hence, here I am sharing my experience riding this roller coaster to help you all succeed in the rest of your robotics journey, through which you will make memories that will last a lifetime.
Rover Ruckus. Sky Stone. Ultimate Goal. Freight Frenzy.
While these are the four "challenges" I completed in my four years, in retrospect, they are your biggest friends, paving the path for knowledge and victory. Surprisingly, the real challenges that you need to solve lie beneath the names of the seasons.
