FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) is an international high school robotics competition operated by FIRST (“For Inspiration & Research of Science & Technology” – a global nonprofit based in the US) Each year, teams of high school students, coaches, and mentors work to build robots capable of competing in that year’s game. This year the World Championship had participation of 600 FRC teams from around 30 countries.

The Engineering Inspiration Award won by the Team R Factor 6024 celebrates outstanding success in advancing respect and appreciation for engineering within a team’s school or organization, and community. Excerpts from the script – “This team rises to the top through efforts and partnerships. Robotics is more than engineering.

This team does it all! They have the STARRRRR factor.”

At the World Championship, this is the most prestigious award at the Division level & the “Orange army” especially impressed the jury with their impactful outreach by advocating for FIRST to the STEM youth of India, notably Advocacy to the Goa government to make STEM curriculum and in Automation Expo reaching out to 800 corporations , partnering with Infinity X STEM foundation and workshops in engineering Techfests – through all these they have reached a myriad audience to promote STEM and inspire all stakeholders to promote and integrate STEM to create a skilled youth.

The team is a Pan India cohort of 8 schools from Mumbai, Bengaluru, Pune & Goa; comprising of 19 students from grades 8th to 12th. What sets Team R Factor 6024 apart from other Indian robotics teams is that they have built, wired and programmed the robot all by themselves, without any professional help. Under the able guidance of mentors Nilesh Shah & Parul Shah – at the Mumbai based Mind Factory, the team has worked tirelessly in their outreach efforts for FIRST & in creating this year’s robot “The Goldfish”.

The team members include Samridhi Swarup, Rinaesa Dedhia, Prapti Doshi, Ridhan Dedhia, Saksham Gupta, Rachit Jain & Arjun Vashistha from the Oberoi International School in Mumbai; Aryan Warke of PACE Junior College, Mumbai; Aditi Shah of DSB International School, Mumbai; Arjun Manmohan of Jamnabai Narsee School, Mumbai; Alisha Savant of Vishwakarma Institute of Technology, Pune; Aarav Gupta, Arjun Kejriwal & Aryaman Kejriwal of The Cathedral & John Connon School, Mumbai; Neel Mistry of Witty International School, Mumbai; Sai Pranav Gandhi of Sharada Mandir school, Miramar, Goa; Saachi Bafna of Rajhans Vidyalaya, Mumbai; Amaatra Narayan of Singapore International School, Mumbai and Jahnavi Balaji of Global Academy at ASU Prep.
