About
A team built by students.
Student-led FIRST Tech Challenge team building robots, skills, and community in San Jose.
01Our story
From a small group to 20+ members.
Founded in 2021, FTC Kronos Team #20791 was started by students dedicated to STEM. What began as a small group has grown into a diverse team of more than twenty members, supported by mentors, parents, and sponsors.
We compete in the FIRST Tech Challenge each season—from kickoff in September through qualifying events in winter—while sharing robotics with our community through outreach.
02Mission
“To design and build competitive robots, develop real engineering skills, and inspire the next generation of students through hands-on outreach.”
Learning by building
Members gain real engineering experience in CAD, fabrication, electronics, and software.
Community first
Outreach brings STEM to younger students and keeps robotics growing in San Jose.
