FTC is something I learned a lot from and enjoyed immensely in high school. I'm glad you had a great time at competitions, and I have no doubt you'll have some fantastic takeaways for next year!

The level of competition in high school robotics is remarkable these days. I truly believe that the average level of competition is way higher than when I was in high school. I don't envy FIRST's task of trying to make FTC at once accessible (or at least, moreso than FRC) while also raising the ceiling for these talented kids to show off their skills.

The level of competition is insane - many teams utilize industry grade machinery to build custom parts. The skills you can learn translate over directly into industrial robotics.
