For RoboRangers, outreach is part of engineering. Demonstrating a robot, helping another team debug a mechanism or explaining a design to a younger student strengthens both the community and our own understanding.
Make the first encounter practical
The team reports 700 students reached through school visits and 200 summer-camp students welcomed into the lab. Public activities include 3D design workshops, robot games and demonstrations at education and technology events.
Share the workshop
FTC Week brought 18 visits over two editions. Our broader collaborations include 17 assisted teams, four mentored teams, ten online team connections and three consulted experts. These categories describe different kinds of relationships and should not be treated as a unique combined total.
Carry the conversation beyond Moldova
Connections made at MTI and other international events continued through online technical exchanges and later meetings. The team’s relationship with Alphatronic #24033 is one example of FIRST friendships that last beyond the match schedule.
A documented communications snapshot
The team reports six national television appearances, about 41,000 Instagram interactions, 757,000 Instagram views and 891,000 TikTok views. These are season totals, not live analytics. Similarly, attendance at large events is kept distinct from the number of people we personally engaged.
