FTC World Championship was a huge success thanks to all of the dedicated volunteers who spent untold hours prepping and setting up for the competition.

Congratulations to the FTC World Championship Inspire Award Winners, Team 4220 The LANDROIDS, from Livingston, NJ.

Congratulations to Team 4444 from Whitefield Academy, Louisville, KY, the Captain of the Winning Alliance.

We saw excellent work from all of the teams and seeing all of those high lifts under one dome was very exciting!

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and will.i.am paid visits to FTC this year.  will.i.am spoke and competed against Dean Kamen at our opening ceremonies and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar refereed a match and spoke at closing ceremonies.

This year's Championship was awesome and a big thank you goes out to everyone who participated and volunteered!
