The Team Python (Ferndownload) team in the 2025 FTC finals.

Hi, this is Team Python and we are a school

robotics team participating in the First Tech Challenge. We have designed, built and coded a robot in order to complete specific tasks and challenges. We have placed 1st at the regional qualifier, this has qualified us to the National championships that are hosted in London. Our aim at the national championships is to place in the top 3, this can potentially progress us towards international competitions. This is important to us as we have invested hundreds of hours into this project, and the funding will greatly improve our chances from new equipment and resources. These new resources/equipment will enable us to afford new parts (to improve the robots capabilities) and afford a test arena, to allow us to code an autonomous period.
