17097 Protostars

17097 Protostars began in 2019, when the growing team, Fusion 4133, decided to create a sister team. The first year we competed was the Skystone game. We had six members at that time. We currently have 8 members; as of now being Andrew, Sam, Elijah, Max, Eleanor, Dylan, Connor, and Cooper. If you wish to learn more about us individually, you may visit our about page.

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!
