As the Mechanical Lead of FTC Team 26039, αsymptote, I focused primarily on the robot’s mechanical mechanisms, and took part in design reviews and development decisions alongside that work.
The approach
The project involved collaborative engineering within the constraints of competitive robotics — mechanical problem-solving, iterative design and practical implementation, carried out as a team.
The outcome
During the 2024–2025 INTO THE DEEP season the team competed at the New York – Long Island Championship. Its achievements there included second place for the Innovate Award sponsored by RTX and a place in the Finalist Alliance as its first selected team. These were the team’s achievements.
The project represents an earlier exploration of mechanical engineering through collaborative design and competition.
