We are a joint team between Team Inspiration, a community robotics team based in San Diego, and the Triton-AI club of University of California, San Diego. We have students ranging from 8th grade to college graduates. Combined, our teams currently participate in FIRST Tech Challenge, RoboBoat, RoboSub, RoboCar, EVGrand Prix, Indy Autonomous Challenge, VRX, and RobotX competitions. Our goal is to learn the most we can about robotics and to spread that knowledge to others.

We are a team from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. Some of our members are pursuing Master’s degrees in Smart Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering, while others are pursuing Bachelor’s degrees in Mechanical Engineering, specializing in Mechatronics and Robotics. Despite NTU’s long-standing presence in competitions, our team members are currently lacking in experience. Nevertheless, we are eager and excited to represent our university in international competitions such as RobotX. We are proficient in CAD, CFD, MATLAB, and Python, and we look forward to applying these skills in practical settings.
