WE GOT DISQUALIFIED FROM THE QUALIFIER?? (ft. Patrick Michaud)

Yes...the title may be slightly exaggerated and clickbait, but in Episode 4 of FTC Feature, Patrick Michaud, the coach of Team 7172 Technical Difficulties, talks about the history of NTX. He shares how he got involved with FIRST and how NTX has and will continue to evolve in the years to come. But that's not all because we have lots of changes in today's episode! First, please welcome our new co-host, Aayush! He is a member of Team 11472 Ravenclaw Robotics. He plans to remain as a co-host on this podcast, and we're glad to have him. We also introduce a new segment that's here to stay: FTC Feature stories! Before the interview or discussion of every episode, our hosts and guests will share funny or weird FTC-related stories they think should be featured. Let's just say that today's feature story left a whole team disqualified and one member salty... Finally, we will have our cameras on in all the episodes published on YouTube. We received requests for a video option, and we thought it was a great idea! BIG NEWS TOO! Our podcast is now on Apple Podcasts! If you want to support us over there, just search "FTC Feature." We're thrilled to have our content across multiple platforms in hopes of making STEM and FIRST more accessible to all communities!
