Gigabytes of Guac
FTC 25959
Gigabytes of Guac is a ROOKIE community robotics team participating in the FIRST Tech Challenge robotics competition. Our team is based in San Antonio, TX and supported by San Antonio Homeschool Robotics 501(c)(3).
FIRST Tech Challenge
Each September FIRST releases a new game challenge for the school year. Teams have about 6 weeks to build a robot to meet the game’s requirements. Then teams strategize game play and cooperate with other teams at FTC meets to score points during the competition.
In 2005 FIRST Tech Challenge is introduced as pilot to provide a more accessible FIRST experience.
9,600+ students in 800+ teams competed in Texas.
70,400+ students in 53 countries developed STEM skills, practiced engineering principles, and worked as a FTC Team in 2022.
Even with just one year of FIRST participation, study participants are 2-3xs more likely to have gains in STEM outcomes than a comparison group of peers not participating in FIRST.
