ABOUT US

C.A.R.T Robotics

We are C.A.R.T #23280, a local FIRST Tech Challenge team based in San Diego. Originally founded in 2020 as a FLL team, C.A.R.T. has been a part of the FIRST community for five years.

We are now entering our first season competing in FTC. The C.A.R.T. FTC team is constantly growing and changing. We started with six members and expanded to a 15-member team. By actively engaging with FIRST programs and robotics while promoting STEM in our communities, we can make a meaningful impact on the lives of young students and contribute to the advancement of STEM education and awareness.

What is FIRST

“Combining the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology, we call FIRST Robotics Competition the ultimate Sport for the Mind. High-school student participants call it “the hardest fun you’ll ever have.”

Under strict rules, limited time, and resources, teams of students are challenged to raise funds, design a team “brand,” hone teamwork skills, and build and program industrial-size robots to play a difficult field game against like-minded competitors. It’s as close to real-world engineering as a student can get. Volunteer professional mentors lend their time and talents to guide each team. Each season ends with an exciting FIRST Championship.”

Founder of FIRST:

“To transform our culture by creating a world where science and technology are celebrated and where young people dream of becoming science and technology leaders.”
