Current High Score

In December, The 'Oly Cow (6424) and Team Swag (5061) set the current FTC high score of 506 at a tournament in Washington State. 

1.  From all of here at HQ, we hope you had a great holiday season and we wish you a happy new year!

2012 was a big year for FTC.  The program now includes 2500+ teams from around the globe and 2013 is shaping up to be even bigger.

Check out the 2012 Year in Review Blog Post for highlights from the past 12 months.

 

Happy New Year!
