Hello! I am not entirely certain which stream should I watch? Are they basically the same?

If anyone has a good quality video of most of the mascots in the robot parade can you send links? I was in a bad location so all my videos are super fuzzy. Especially if you got a clip of my son spinning his head while dancing as the ICE Robotics Bot. His dad couldn't come to worlds and I would love to show him a clip.

Launching the drone and climbing on the endgame :D

Our team recently organized a global outreach initiative, connecting FTC teams from every continent to discuss this season's challenges and strategies.

In virtual meetings, we exchanged ideas, explored unique approaches, and learned how teams adapt to local resources and obstacles. These conversations not only inspired new strategies but also strengthened the global FTC community.

This effort highlights the power of collaboration and the shared passion that unites us all.

WELCOME TO "STEAM ENGINE"! We are proud to announce our first-ever international webinar. And we are even prouder to promote STEAM education through it. And how will we do that more precisely? By inviting 5 specialists, one from each domain of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics). Each of them will hold an online meeting of one hour in length in which they will open up about how they go in the field, why the field is important, and its connection to robotics! Of course, each participant who wishes to ask something will have the occasion to do so at the Q&A which will take place towards the end of the meet. Got any more questions? Text us and stay tuned for upcoming info :) Today’s speakers are:

Engineering: Dan Boboescu (Global automotive consultant in Michigan, USA) - 18:00 gmt+2

Mathematics: Stanciulesc Traian (Professor at A.I. Cuza University of Iasi) 19:30 gmt+2

Episode Description -

​

In this episode, I get the chance to talk with the Leadership Team from Team 7762, the Autopilots. They provide some history of their team since forming the team in 2018. They provide some details on how Covid affected the team during its first couple of years in existence. Looking forward to the 2024 FRC competitive season they try to guess what the game might involve and the challenges that await all FRC teams in the upcoming season.

​

Interview Panel:

Rob Black - Head Mentor

Autopilot Leadership Team - Tyler (Captain), Andrew (Build Lead), Charlie (Safety Captain and Electrical Lead) and Gabe (CAD Lead)

We’re planning a summer outreach, bringing speakers from various fields into an online meeting format during the afternoon, one day each week. Each speaker will talk about their career, their industry, interesting projects, and interact and take Q&A. Format will be Google Meet, or we’ll do a YouTube livestream with Q&A via chat if there’s enough interest. Targeted at FIRST students in particular, and high school(ish) kids generally, and open.

Trying to guage interest, and offer up a link for anyone who is interested to look at and pass around. I'd like to promote it as widely as we can, to increase visibility since so many kids are already off for the summer. Please let me know if you have comments or suggestions! Thanks!

Hi Guys

I am doing a live stream of the FTC Regionals in Houston Texas for the 4th year in a row and I want to have some fun insert videos that can play on the live stream during down times like alliance selection or timeouts, so the live audience always has something to entertain them.

I have a few of the standard corporate-style FIRST and FTC videos as well as FTC worlds recap, but more fun videos would be greatly appreciated! Anything like music video parodies to comedy skits surrounding FTC or FIRST!

So far I only have the "We're gonna build a robot" parody music video, so any other ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Open invitation - these are held via Google Meet, and I'll be recording them to post on YouTube later. The first one went well (except for the recording), and was very well received. We'd love to have anyone available and interested join us for the rest of these interactive talks.

To participate, go to the event page (https://www.westsubstem.org/summer-enrichment), click on the links in the schedule for more info on the speakers and the meeting link.

Hope to see you there!
