Welcome to GART FTC Team

Team #24751 from Hanoi

We build robots and help other teams learn

Who We Are

🤖 About us

We're GART - a high school robotics team from Hanoi. Started in 2020, we compete in FTC competitions and teach younger students about robotics. Most of us knew nothing about building robots when we joined, but we learned together and now we help other teams get started too.

🎯 What we do

Design and build competition robots, compete in tournaments, and run free workshops for students interested in robotics. We share all our code and designs online because we think more people should have access to this kind of learning.

Started the new season. Got the game manual and began brainstorming robot ideas with the team.

August 2025

Summer workshop

Ran a free workshop for 50+ middle school students. Taught them basic programming and let them drive our robot.

June 2025

Off-season training

Team practiced CAD, improved our code, and worked on autonomous routines during summer break.

April 2025

Regional competition

Competed at regionals. Robot held up better than expected. Made some good friends with other teams.

Our Team Members

Leadership Team

Anh Nguyen

Team Captain

Leadership & Strategy

Started knowing nothing about robotics. Still figuring things out but we're making progress together.

Minh Tran

Technical Lead

Engineering & Design

Spend most of my time in CAD. Half the designs don't work but that's how you learn.

Linh Pham

Programming Lead

Software Development

Debug most of the time. When things actually work it's pretty satisfying though.

Programming Team

Hung Nguyen

Autonomous Specialist

Programming

Autonomous is tricky. Lots of testing and tweaking to get it working consistently.

Thu Do

Vision Systems

Programming

Computer vision is hard but cool when it works. OpenCV tutorials are my best friend.

Khoa Le

Control Systems

Programming

PID tuning takes forever. But smooth robot movement makes it worth it.

Mechanical Team

Quang Vu

Mechanical Lead

Mechanics

If it's not falling apart, it's probably too heavy. Finding that balance is tough.

Tam Ho

CAD Designer

Mechanics

Design looks great in CAD, then realize it won't fit. Back to the drawing board.

Duong Bui

Build Specialist

Mechanics

Turning CAD models into real parts. Lost count of stripped screws and wrong measurements.

Design & Outreach Team

Nhi Phan

Design Lead

Design & Media

Make things look presentable. Someone has to stop us from using Comic Sans everywhere.

Bao Trinh

Outreach Coordinator

Outreach

Teaching kids about robots is fun. Their excitement reminds me why we do this.

Hieu Vo

Documentation

Outreach

Engineering notebook duty. Actually helps when we need to remember what we did last month.

Our Team Spirit

🤝 Work together

Everyone helps out. Programmers help build, builders help code. When something breaks at 2 AM before competition, we all stay to fix it.

💡 Try new things

Not everything works. That's fine - we learn more from failures anyway. Plus blooper reels are entertaining.

🎯 Keep improving

Not trying to be perfect, just better than last week. Small improvements add up over time.

🌟 Help other teams

We compete hard but share knowledge freely. When other teams get better, competitions get more interesting for everyone.
