WASA has called Wapakoneta High School it's home since the dawn of its creation in 2015. As a team we like to combine our talents into a successful group that can be both triumphant, but also encouraging for our peers and in the community around us. We have members from all different types of backgrounds, and grades, that when combined can truly create something amazing. This team competed as part of the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC). 

From the time our team was created, we have had multiple state championship appearances, won numerous awards, and hosted FTC qualifiers. The team was retired at the end of the 2022-23 season as we moved onto the highest level of robotics tournaments, FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC). We wouldn't have been able to do this without all of the skills learned through FTC. 

Here are some members of our building section of the robotics team working on our FTC robot. This is to make sure it is able to grab cones and move around the field quickly. 

This is our coding team working on finishing up the code for our FTC bot to make sure it is going to be competition ready. To make it competition ready they have to code an autonomous phase for the start of a round and have to code the rest of the robot so it is drivable and can grab cones.

This is our final FTC bot design that is able to grab cones by expanding the barb on the inside of the cone. We will be taking the bot to states on March 11th.
