I am currently advising the Javengers software team, helping new members learn more about using Android Studio, Java, and the FTC SDK. I am going to Georgia Tech and I did FTC for 5 years. Before FTC, I also did FLL for 3 years. I may have been the LORD of software on the team, but outside of programming in FTC, I participated in Science Olympiad, where I competed in events including Wifi Lab and Codebusters. I enjoy playing basketball, and I'm a big Milwaukee Bucks fan. I've also been playing the cello for 7 years. In my free time, I like binge watching detective shows like Monk and Psych.

Outside of FTC, I was an active boy scout who turned into an eagle scout. Other activities I enjoy are playing basketball, camping, and various outdoor activities.

kenneth

My name is Kenneth as you probably know because it is displayed right above my face, but what you may not know is that by night, I went by the superhero identity, SCARLET COMMIT! I am currently going to Georgia Tech, and I was the super-leader of the software team, a member of the engineering notebook team, and a member of the outreach team. I would always COMMIT to the software team, but I really wanted to learn more about hardware, especially how to design in CAD. During my regular, old, boring time as my secret identity, you will often find me watching Avatar: The Last Airbender (which is absolutely the best show ever), playing piano, and randomly dancing when I'm bored.

krittika

To most people, I am known as Krittika, the Johns Hopkins student. However, once introduced to FIRST, I transformed into Hackeye, STEM superhero and programmer extraordinaire. I have participated in FLL for one year and in FTC for 4 years. My experience with FIRST has helped me become a stronger leader and public speaker. I enjoy programming, working on the engineering notebook, and thinking about robot design. I'm learned more about objected-oriented programming and debugging. In my free time, I dabble in both Muggle and wizard magic, play the violin, and engage in intense swordplay... no, wordplay. 

rachael

My name is Rachael Chacko, and I was Calc Widow on the team. I go to Dartmouth, and I participated in FTC for 3 years. My roles on the team consisted of Engineering Notebook team leader, Outreach team leader, and Software team member. I made my last year on The Javengers memorable by holding multiple outreaches around the community to promote FIRST and STEM. I continue participating in FIRST by volunteering at local competitions and mentoring FTC teams. In my free time, I enjoy volunteering, traveling, and listening to the band Queen.

rishab

Hi, my name is Rishab Katti but, you probably knew me as The Bulk. I currently am a student at Penn State and I have participated in FLL for 1 year and FTC for 4 years. FIRST has taught me skills such as time management and public speaking skills. At FTC, you could’ve found me on the build, CAD, design and strategy teams. I particularly enjoyed building the robot and watching it run at competitions! Outside of FTC, you can find me playing tennis, volunteering or playing video games.

sarah

My name is Sarah Chacko, known as hero Stack Panther, and I am currently a senior at Cumberland Valley High School. I have participated in First Lego League through the nationally-ranked Sixth Sensors team for the past three years and FTC for 2 years. I learned more about the robot, both software and hardware, and coordinating outreach activities. Outside of FTC, you can find me playing trombone, volunteering, and participating in my Girls Scouts troop.

susan

My name is Susan Chemmanoor, I’m in 8th grade, and I’ve been involved with the FIRST program for 8 years, and it has really impacted my life. When I was five, I started playing a supporting role in my brothers FLL team the XBOTS in VA. I finally was part of the Sixth Sensors FLL team in PA, when my parents moved. The Sixth Sensors went to the International Razorback invitational in May 2016 and won third place in overall robot design, out of 72 teams that participated, including many international teams. Since then we’ve combined our FLL and FTC teams into a new FTC team: The Javengers. My favorite things in robotics are building and being creative with attachments. In my free time I like Bollywood dancing, singing, reading and Tae Kwon Do. 

Thomas

I am attending Duke and am a FIRST veteran having been in FLL for four years and FTC for five years. I aspire to be either a mechanical engineer or a computer scientist when I am older. I wasthe build team lead for The Javengers and was aptly named Wire Man. I found myself most interested in coordinating with team members to create robotics camps for kids in our area and also in trying to solve game challenges by building cool attachments on our robot. The things that I found challenging are coding (remembering syntax), time-management, and remembering to wear safety glasses when working with power tools (thanks everyone on the team for reminding me). When I'm not doing robotics you can find me playing soccer or chess, reading, or drawing.  

ETHAN

My name is Ethan Gable, but I wasknown as Silver Servo on the Javengers. I did FTC for 2 years, but I was on the Javengers for 1 year. I recently moved from Italy, where I was on an FTC team called Robotica Santi. We got to compete in the World Championships in St. Louis last year. I am a 10th grader who was a builder and designer on the team. I also tried to help strategize. I like to play baseball, swim, and run outside of robotics.

DREW

My name is Drew Gable, but when I am with the Javengers, I am Falcomm. I am a 9th grader at Carlisle High School. I am new to the team, but I have two years of experience from my last team, Robotica Santi, in Aviano, Italy. We competed across Europe and even went to the FTC World Championships twice. I enjoy building, using CAD, and driving the robot. In FTC, I have learned very valuable skills that I will use for the rest of my life, such as leadership and gracious professionalism. I have also learned many mechanical techniques, such as soldering and how to use certain machinery. Two years ago, I went to the Space Robotics Academy in Huntsville Alabama, where I spent a week learning robotics and leadership skills that I still use today. In my free time, I enjoy running cross country, wrestling, video games (COD, Halo, Destiny, Etc.), and reading.

I’m a three year veteran to FTC, and with the skills I’ve gained from my previous years, and the help from my team, I’m sure we will be successful. FIRST has helped me with my public speaking skills, and has increased my interest in STEM. I enjoy reading books and comics, and watching movies. 

Vishnu J.

Hello! My name is Vishnu and my fellow Javangers cadets call me Int Man. I am a Senior at Cumberland Valley High School and I am going into my fifth year of FIRST. FIRST has really allowed me to grow and develop into the person I am today. I have learned a variety of skills such as public speaking, different building and strategy skills, and time management skills. I never really understood my interest in STEM until I joined the FIRST program. These skills will forever be with me thanks to FIRST and the fantastic programs it hosts.
