Addison - FTC 3540- ADHD- She/Her
Hi everyone! I'm Addison, captain of 3540 Roboboogie! I am currently a senior in high school and I've been part of Roboboogie for the past four years and captain for the past two. I love working on the mechanical aspects of our robot and take special pride in the unique ways that our team designs and builds our robot. I plan on majoring in English Literature in college but intend on still participating in robotics and coming back to mentor my team and any other team that would like my help. This is my first year as a representative of Neurodivergent of FIRST and I can't wait to help share NDof within the FIRST community.
