Team Photon

We had our first league meet in the 2025 Decode Season! We got some good clarifications on the rules and got some good insight into how we can improve our robot! Here's to a great season!

We’re running a fundraiser with blaze pizza! Stop by on October 24th, 5:00pm-9:00pm. Remember to bring friends and family! You can show the cashier a picture of the fundraiser or submit the code for an online order in order for the purchase to count.

We are hosting the first fundraiser of the season!! It is the 21st of September from 4:00-8:00 pm at Panera. Don't forget to share this flyer with your friends and family. We hope to see you all there! #ftc #fundraising #robotics #fundraiser #outreach #panera #panerabread

We just attended our first league meet of the season yesterday, it was a huge success! We won two out of our 6 matches and we got to experience a real FTC competition in person. We are so excited for the rest of the season! #ftc #ftciowa #freightfrenzy #competition #robotics

Team Photon is at the Des Moines Maker Faire! Some of our members are also volunteering! Come see us and Team Neutrino @frcneutrino @SCIOWA #ftc #outreach #sci

We’d like to thank Bayer and John Deere for sponsoring us this past season! Because of their donations, we were able to purchase robot parts and achieve the Motivate award in the Nevada League Tournament. We look forward to working with you again! @JohnDeere @BayerFoundation

We wanted to say a special thanks to the two STEM professionals that presented, Nichelle’Le Carrington and Russ Peters. We were able to learn so much about how important STEM is for our future careers! #stem #stemprofessionals #engineering #ftc #outreach #first #ultimategoal

We had so much fun at our FIRST Steps Into FTC event! We were able to show future FTC members about our team! #outreach #ftc #iowaftc #ultimategoal #stem #robotics #ultimategoal #FIRST

Congratulations to our good friend @PatrickOBarnes, who is celebrating his 40th anniversary at @JohnDeere! It has been an honor working with Pat to grow the strategic partnership between John Deere & FIRST and we are beyond grateful for his dedication to the FIRST community.
