Our Team
MAKBots started it's first team practice in July 2012 with its three founding members, Andy Li, Kristie Chen, and Michael Ning. Under Coach Joe's guidance, they built their first MAKBots robot at Andy's home. From there, the team learned advanced robot programming, race strategy and team collaboration. They competed against other teams at FLL challenge in late 2012 and won their first trophy. In 2013, they won second at the Alamo Regional and moved on to the North American Invitational, at LEGOLAND California. In 2014, they won first overall and moved on to the Razorback Invitational. At the Razorback Invitational, they competed successfully against more than 70 international teams, placing third and fifth in robot design and robot game, respectively. After three years of successful competition, they decided to split the team, with half participating in FTC and the other half participating in FLL. Currently, they are a rookie FTC team about to start their first season.
