About Us
17097 Protostars began in 2019, when the growing team, Fusion 4133, decided to create a sister team. The first year, we participated in the FTC competition "Skystone." We had six members, two of whom are still on the team today! The next year, the team grew to 8 members! As of right now, the members of the team are Isaac, Ty, Harrison, Max, Eleanor, Elijah, and Dylan #2. If you wish to learn more about us individually, you may visit our About page.

One of our ultimate goals: to collect enough to make the
best robot for our season!
The Basics of Building an FTC Robot
Did you know we have a
YouTube Channel???
On our Channel, we have a YouTube series focused on
helping new FTC teams learn
how to build a robot and function as a team. We started
with a
comprehensive 8-part series released along with the
launch of the 2023-24 season, and we plan on releasing
much more content throughout the season. Make sure to
subscribe to our YouTube
Channel to make sure you don't miss out!
