30405 Clockwork
We are a passionate and close-knit robotics team from the Sunshine Coast, made up of dedicated Grade 10 students. Although this is our first year competing in the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC), our journey together in STEM and robotics began well before this season. Each of us has prior experience working together on different teams, and those shared challenges and victories have built a strong foundation of trust, collaboration, and mutual respect.
Whether it’s late-night build sessions, coding marathons, or brainstorming solutions to complex problems, we approach every task with enthusiasm and a spirit of curiosity.
“Robots that think, so you don’t have to.”
DESIGN
Our design team is skilled in working with platform such as Onshape and Fusion 360. They work tirelessly to design a working and fast robot for the coming competition.
CODE
We use Java to program our robot, organising our codebase through GitHub and Android Studio. This helps us manage our files, collaborate as a team, and keep track of code as we prepare for competition.
BUILD
We have currently began building our robot mainly out of plywood. By doing this, it allows us to save out more valuable materials for when out robot is finalized and we progress in the competition. while the robot is only just in the testing phase our design and build team has been working hard to ensure it is finished in time.
Our Current Progress
Clogs-worth the robot!
BLUi Security
Thank you to our new sponsor!
We’d like to extend a huge thank you to BLUi Security for their generous support in providing us with domain hosting and website services. Their sponsorship has allowed us to build a strong online presence, helping us share our journey, connect with the community, and showcase our work throughout the season. We’re incredibly grateful for their partnership and belief in our team.
Outreach
Reaching out to the community
In FTC, outreach is about connecting with the community to share our passion for STEM and robotics. It involves activities like mentoring younger teams, running workshops, presenting at local events, and engaging with schools or sponsors. Outreach helps grow interest in robotics, builds leadership and communication skills, and strengthens the impact of our team beyond the competition field.
