Hello! We are a FTC team called Strike Bots #16595 from Southeast Calgary Canada. In 2019 we were created by our parent organization, Alberta Tech Alliance Association (ATAA) to make a total of three ATAA FTC teams at the time. Since then, we've continued to improve and expand both our knowledge and others' knowledge of STEAM through robotics.
In our current season, we have eight members, one youth mentor, and two mentors. Learn more about everyone below:
