Builders, not
bystanders.
As one of China's longest-running FTC teams, we'd rather build the community than just compete in it — from sister teams and open-source to an international invitational.
A school with no walls.
We grow by sharing.
We organized a 14-member rookie club team, 30066, and give them weekly technical tutoring — from team formation to competition prep.
We helped the Xinghewan squad plan their season — and with our support, 19682 advanced to the finals at the Hangzhou regional.
Our engineering lead consulted on 22438 MecchEmpire's robot, helping design and iterate their intake.
With team 19666 and others, we co-founded CycleZ Lab to crack shared technical challenges. Our first release (Nov 2025) is a miniaturized swerve module just 90×100×100 mm — a drop-in replacement for a mecanum footprint, no chassis redesign needed. A scouting app, launch-parameter selection, and a PID-based co-pilot auto-aim are headed to GitHub next.
A stage for
everyone's story.
Our 100 FTCers series is planned, filmed, and produced entirely by team members. We interview teams across regions — their robot design thinking, their engineering-notebook lessons, their collaboration stories — giving more teams a platform to show their work and spread their ideas.
It carries our spirit — "youth never rests, passion endures" — and the gracious professionalism FIRST stands for, to students and community members everywhere. 23 FTCers interviewed so far, and the story continues.
From watching online
to building together.
In 2024 we co-founded the Silicon Valley Invitational with US team 9784 Dry Ice — now a well-known local postseason. 2024 drew 18 international teams; in 2025 it grew to 23, including Romania's world-top-40 20936 Royal Engineers. 19859 took Champion and the Think Award.
We connected with SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory for technical mentorship and support, and visited Tesla HQ — talking vehicle structure with a Tesla technical director and seeing EV manufacturing up close.
A 2.5-hour session with US team 16458 TechnoWizards on vector chassis R&D and season strategy — presentations, then a deep Q&A answering their season questions.
After Chongqing we shared match experience with US team 18603 TeraBridges — who then won the Inspire Award at their next qualifier. Sincere exchange really does lift everyone.
A second classroom.
Meet SISI.
Our refreshed identity centers an elegant, energetic pink mechanical snake, with the mascot SISI (思思) as our core visual IP — carried onto the robot itself and across all our materials.
We document each season in video: the Never Forget Why We Started documentary passed 2,000 views, and our ceremonial robot reveal shares our engineering aesthetic. We publish tutorials and vlogs on Bilibili and YouTube, and lighter updates on Xiaohongshu.
