History
Before we moved to FRC, we had spent two years in FVC/FTC. For the 2006/2007 season, Hanging A Round,
Teen Technology founded a robotics team, Team Overdrive, as the main program. We were one of the
hundred teams that made it to the nationals. In addition, we played up to the second quarterfinals.
Though we hadn’t won, by then we had really caught what we call, “the bug,” an “illness” that drives
the team to want to excel.
Our subsequent year, we really did. As soon as we finished our robot, we rushed to the Ohio
competition. After being both the winning alliance captain and Inspire Award winner, we decided upon
a new iteration of our robot, one that would bring the whole game to the next level. With it, we won
and surprised the New York competition. At the nationals, we became the world champions of 2007/2008,
with only three loses through the entire season.
The bug just got worse from there, setting our goals higher than ever before. It was time to move on,
and here we are in FRC. Teen Technology grew from one team to three, including Power Surge, the FTC
team, and Team Overdrive, the FRC team, with all three doing exceptionally well and gaining
recognition in countless places. We hope to see you around this year!
