Engineering Portfolio
In FIRST Tech Challenge, an Engineering Portfolio documents a team’s journey through the season: the design process, engineering decisions, outreach, and growth along the way. It’s a key part of the Inspire Award, FTC’s top award, given to the team that best serves as a role model and ambassador for the FIRST program.
At the 2026 Vermont FTC State Championship, Team 18650 Cookie Clickers won the Inspire Award and the state championship title, advancing to the FIRST Championship in Houston TX.
Their Engineering Portfolio covers the full season: game strategy, iterative mechanical design, CAD and 3D printing, autonomous and teleop software, community outreach, and reflections from each team member.
