Solar Flare Robotics: What is it?

2 min readAug 2, 2024

As most of you will know me, I’m Vivaan Shahani, A Young Journalist (currently 14 years old) interested in finance, history, travel, world politics and many random fun topics. Most of you probably don’t know that I’m a Co-Founder of a FTC robotics team called Solar Flare Robotics. FTC stands for First Tech Challenge, which is a robotics competition of teams from across the globe.

As you would image, there are many costs in building a robotics team. Adding up costs of materials, transportation and registration means we need to raise up to $7500. As a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, we rely on donations and sponsorships. I am asking you for any help that you guys can provide.

We would like to connect with some small business for sponsorship oppurtunites. Those of you that may know or are business owners yourselves, we are looking to partner with businesses in hopes of different opportunities like putting the logo on our merch, or robot or maybe even handing out business cards. Please email me at vivaan@solarflarerobotics.org

If you would like to learn more, we have a wonderful website: solarflarerobotics.org, which has all lot of information about us. If you know anyone that could help us please let me know. If any individuals would like to help us we have a donation form here: https://hcb.hackclub.com/donations/start/solar-flare. As a non-profit, all donations will be tax-deductible.

We are truly counting on your support.

P.S. Here’s a picture of our practice robot.
