About Us
Polaris Robotics 18340 is a community-based FTC Robotics team of middle and high school students in Fremont, CA . Our team was founded in 2020 and we have multiple years of experience designing, building, and programming robots! Every year is a learning experience for us, and we love applying what we learn to our next season. As a team, we aim to embody the core values of FIRST and expand the program in our community. Through our outreach events, we hope to inspire others to start their own team or volunteer at FIRST events. Please contact us if you are looking for guidance or form a team for FLL.
