FTC Team #17153 · Young Engineers Association
Precision. Speed. Ink-stained victory.
Who We Are
Squid Squad is FTC Team #17153, competing in the FIRST Tech Challenge under the Young Engineers Association. Like the squid we're named after, we move fast, adapt instantly, and strike with precision.
We're a team of passionate student engineers, programmers, and builders who thrive under pressure. Every season we design and build a new robot from scratch — and we love every minute of it.
We are proudly hosted at George Washington High School in Denver, Colorado — but our team is open to any motivated student, regardless of where they attend school. If you have the drive, you have a home here.
We believe robotics is about more than winning. It's about learning, growing, and inspiring the next wave of engineers.
