About Us

Who We Are

We are a group of 7th – 12th grade students competing in First Tech Challenge (FTC) Robotics.

Our Mission

Our mission is to use ingenuity and innovation to create an efficient robot that can compete at the highest level. We also want to spread interest in Robotics and FIRST throughout our community through events to spread awareness. Furthering that, we want to help existing teams in our community in order to lift the standard for robotics in our community.

What We Do

We design, build, and program robots to compete in the First Tech Challenge. We also work with other groups in our community to create interest in STEM and FIRST programs.

Our History

10435 debuted in the 2015–2016 season as Timberline 9. The team chose the new name Circuit Breakers in the 2016–2017 season. In that season 10435 was a member of the State Championship Alliance, running in every match, though not the captain.

During the 2017–2018 season, the team was a finalist alliance at Super Regionals and earned the Rockwell Collins Innovate Award at Worlds in Detroit, among other accolades.

The 2018-2019 season brought league, super qualifiers, and state championships. We went undefeated in qualification rounds and was named the division’s third team captain, earning us a second trip to Worlds.

In the 2019-2020 season, Circuit Breakers won our third state championship, established a Skystone world record, and qualified for Worlds. The team won its fourth state championship and qualified for the World Championships in 2020–2021.

In the 2021–2022 season, we were the first recipient of the Mid-American Leadership Award.

During the 2022-2023 season, we have won two consecutive Inspire Awards at the League Tournament and Super Qualifiers. We rounded off our season by winning the Innovate award at the State Championship.

Throughout the 2023-2024 season, our team won Innovate at the League Tournament as well as State Championship. We were also the Finalist Alliance First Pick for the Black Division.

So far, in the 2024-2025 season, at League Tournament, we won Inspire 3rd place and Finalist Alliance. We won Control Award and Championship Tournament Finalist Alliance at State Championship.
