Celebrating our 10th season!

About

Who are we?

Hello, we're the TimeCrafters, FTC team 8962, from North Branch, MN. We are a talented group of individuals who love making robots. We were formed in Minnesota in 2013 and we are enthusiastic to keep working, playing, and always innovating every season.


What do we do?

Over the season we use java programming, computer aided design (CAD), and mechanical design to build a robot for the robotics challenge called FIRST Tech Challenge.


Why do we do it?

We build and learn because it is the hardest fun you’ll ever have!
