Local kids move on in FTC Robotics
Twenty-three teams of students in
grades 7-12 from schools around the
Gorge participated in the First Tech
Challenge (FTC) Qualifying Tourna-
ment at The Dalles Middle School
last Saturday, Jan. 31. After a long
day of judging panels and head-to-
head competition, eight of the Gorge
teams advanced to the next level of
competition with a place at the one
of the Oregon Super-Qualifier Tour-
naments.
This event was hosted locally by
the students of The Dalles High
School FTC Teams, coached by Bev
Froemming. Support was provided
by the Gorge Tech Alliance and spon-
sorship from Google and Boeing. In
this sports-style competition, teams
are responsible for designing, build-
ing, and programming their robots
to compete in an alliance format
against other teams. The robot kit is
reusable from year-to-year and is
programmed using a variety of lan-
guages. Teams, including coaches,
mentors and volunteers, are re-
quired to develop strategy and build
robots based on sound engineering
principles. Awards are given for the
competition as well as for communi-
ty outreach, design, and other real-
world accomplishments. The object
of this year’s game, named Cascade
Effect, is to win more points than an
opponent by scoring160 large and
small white plastic balls into two
center goals or six rolling goals of
various heights.

This past weekend, we had quite a
bit of fun at The Dalles FTC qualify-

ogy Challenge) is a competition
where teams build and program ro-
bots to do different tasks. We learn
so much and meet new and amazing
people with great ideas. All the
while, practicing Gracious Profes-
sionalism.
On Saturday, eight Hood River Val-
ley High School FTC robotics teams
drove to The Dalles for our prelimi-
nary qualifier competition. The
teams includedA Occam’s Razor,
Team Akamai, Excelerate, The
Transformers, Bucket of Bolts, The
Aztecs, Hex Tech, and Terabytes.
Our teams consist of four to seven
high schoolers from ages 14 to 18.

at 2:00 p.m.
Seven of the eight teams advanced
to State on Feb. 21-22.
The FTC competition is very chal-
lenging with many different compo-
nents that we are judged on. One of
those components is our engineering
notebook, which follows us through
our journey up until the day of the
competition. It is full of our ideas,
inspirations and knowledge of the
FTC game. Another huge part of the
FTC competition is the robot. It
takes many hours of designing, mea-
suring and building to create these
masterpieces. Finally, in order to
make our robot move we have to be
able to create programs which allow
the robot to move on its own and
with a controller.”

done, and Erik Siekkinen
