SWOOP

Our dedication to supporting the growth and success of other FIRST teams, emphasizing collaboration and mutual assistance within the FIRST community.

Swoop Into The world:

We are not only committed to our own team’s success but also to the success of all teams in the FIRST community. We have supported over 50 FRC teams with parts and assistance during competitions. We have also shared FTC/FRC documentation examples on our website to help other teams. Our passion for FTC goes beyond our own involvement. In the 2022-23 FTC season, we organized many FIRST-related events that enabled teams to demonstrate their abilities and network with other FIRST enthusiasts.

At New York Tech Valley, we helped Rambots 4571, one among the many other teams, in the pit when our captain saw that they were struggling. They lacked some tools and electronics so we provided them with some and had helped assemble their robot manually.

Swoop into FTC:

During the kickoff of the year 2022, we organized a series of workshops, including Fusion360 and Mentor Development, to empower teams with valuable skills and knowledge. The event also featured a field reveal and a Q&A session focused on PowerPlay, ensuring that teams were well-informed and prepared for the upcoming FTC season.

In the 2023 FTC season, our team assisted a new up-and-coming FTC team now known as Liberty Robotics (22053) to get up on their feet. Our team members provided programming and build assistance to get their robot to be as competitive as possible. With our help, Max Damage was able to win numerous awards for being recognized as a new team with high potential.
