EagleBots Earn World Championship Innovate Award

EagleBots FTC Team 13532 earned the Innovate Award sponsored by RTX in the Lovelace Division at the 2026 FIRST® Tech Challenge World Championship.

The award recognized our team’s creative and student-led robot design for the DECODE season, including our custom swerve drive, two-stage intake, retractable flywheel shooter, and ramp-based endgame system. These designs came through months of CAD work, prototyping, testing, and iteration, with students developing more than 72 custom robot components.

As an open 4-H FIRST Tech Challenge team based in Iowa City, EagleBots serves students from multiple schools and homeschool communities. This season, our 24 active members continued to grow as builders, programmers, designers, leaders, and ambassadors for STEM through competitions, workshops, demonstrations, and community outreach.

We are incredibly thankful for the mentors, sponsors, families, and community partners who helped make this season possible.

WHAT MAKES EAGLEBOTS DIFFERENT

EagleBots was formed to solve a real problem: many capable students never get access to high-level robotics.

As an open, community-anchored FTC team, EagleBots is not tied to a single school or schedule. We focus on real engineering systems—SCRUM, documentation, iteration, and shared decision-making—so learning compounds year after year.

Formation Over Flash

We build people who can win for years, not robots built to peak once.

Real Engineering

Students design, prototype, test, and document, not just assemble.

Poised,  Ethical Teams

Safety, teamwork, and accountability are non-negotiable.

THE EAGLEBOTS DIFFERENCE (SYSTEM)
Engineering as a system, not a season.
How We Build

  • SCRUM as Culture

    Every meeting ends with shared reflection, accountability, and integration.
  • Documentation as Discipline

    Engineering notebooks, CAD, and decisions are recorded as part of the work, not after it.
  • Iteration Over Flash

    We prototype, test, fail, measure, and improve—sometimes eight or more times per system.
  • Outreach as Responsibility

    Building knowledge means sharing it, through workshops, fairs, and mentoring younger students.
