TEAM MEMBERS
Our engaged and hardworking team.
Simeon Lovric
Hi! I am a 13 year old who lives in Piedmont California. This year will be my second year in FTC, and I am very excited. Last year, I joined because a friend invited me. I never really thought that I would become as involved as I am now. The team didn’t have a workspace to meet in, so I talked to my parents, and we ended up hosting a get-together robotics session each week in our garage. By the end of the year, I loved robotics, and wanted to do more. |
Gus von Metzsch
Hello! I am a 13 year old resident of Piedmont California. This is my first year in FTC, and I was invited to join by Simeon. I did FLL last year though, and this was the next step even though everyone on this team except Noah is different from the FLL team I was on last year. Last year was my first year of FLL or any kind of robotics, and I found I loved robotics. I especially like the engineering aspect of robotics and working with other people to solve problems. Some other things that I like to do are reading, playing lacrosse, and solving Rubik’s Cubes, and especially reading. I am looking forward to participating in FTC this year.

Siddharth Bhatia
My name is Siddharth, and I am an freshman. I did FTC last year, so this is my second time. Last year, I wasn’t planning on doing FTC, but I fell in love and I’m back! I’m excited this season for a smaller, more focused team, and I think I will be working mostly on the software side of things, although I also love driving.

Eli Knisbacher
Hi, my name is Eli Knisbacher. This is my first year doing FTC. I did Lego FLL a few years ago. I am mainly working on software with Siddharth and Gus so far. I learned java for FTC. It wasn’t that challenging to learn because I was already familiar with JavaScript. I enjoy coding, reading, and playing the saxophone. I am enjoying FTC so far and I am planning on doing it again next year.
