Welcome to Retro Raiders, an FTC (FIRST Tech Challenge) robotics team where ingenuity and determination meet no limits! As a passionate team of students from Emerson High School, our mission is to leave a lasting impact on our local community of robotics, opening the gates for people interested in STEM.
