BUILDING THE FUTURE
Meet the Team
Who we are
We are TurbΩ V8, a robotics team based in Pleasanton, California, participating in the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) since 2017. Our team is passionate about robotics and engineering, and we take pride in designing innovative robots. Beyond competitions, we're committed to inspiring the next generation of STEM enthusiasts through outreach and mentorship in our community.
Our Goal
We are a community-based team filled with youth STEM ambassadors. We hope to inspire and recruit passionate individuals and provide a powerful learning experience through robotics. By learning from each other and seeking daily growth, we transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries in our drive toward the FIRST World Championship.
What we do
We frequently interact with community members both locally and internationally, collaborating and mentoring others in STEM and robotics. TurbΩ V8 holds regular team meetings to communicate and build our robots for every season.
