Welcome to FTC Team Paragon 11311's official website!
What is ftc?
FTC (FIRST Tech Challenge) is a robotics competition that promotes STEM and gracious professionalism created by FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology). Every year, FIRST makes a brand-new, original game for the competition, which is played by the different teams at tournaments. While winning the game is important, so is having fun and helping other teams.
Team facts
Our team name is Paragon, meaning "at the top". Our logo is a stag, representing kindness, modesty, and majesty. The stag is wearing a crown, symbolizing the power and strength in our team. We are a community team from San Jose, California. Our team was established in 2016. We are very excited about FTC and robotics.
our words of wisdom
We live by these wise words of wisdom, all originating from the powerful mind of our very own Andrew (learn more on the About the Team section.)
"Be confident with your decisions in life.”
“Don’t guess. Do measurements.”
“You can’t just sandpaper [the oversized glyph]* down. It’s just one of those things that you have to deal with.” *original- “it”
“Some solutions work better than others; some solutions look better than others. But they are all solutions, so don’t discriminate against those that look bad or stupid. They may outperform yours.” “The wires won’t untangle themselves.”
DONATE
We appreciate all gracious donations. Our team relies heavily on these financial gifts, and they will be matched by the Benevity Impact Fund.
