Tejesh Kothakota
Team Captain
Hey, my name's Tejesh. I'm 15 years old and this is my fourth year of being a part of FIRST Robotics, as I've done each FLL and FTC for 2 years. FIRST has been a big part of my life as I've met many new people and learned the art of programming using block code and Python, eventually moving up to learning the basics of Java. Besides robotics, I enjoy spending time with friends, working out, doing math, and having an odd obsession with eating onions.

Akshay Krishna
Robot Design Captain
Hi, I'm Akshay. I'm 14 years old. This is my 4th year in robotics, as we did FLL for 2 years before moving to FTC. I enjoy FTC because it teaches valuable lessons apart from engineering skills. Core values are one thing that I learned through FIRST, which is important when working with other people, anywhere. Besides robotics, I enjoy biking and rock climbing.
Jaidev Kaleeswaran
Software Captain
Hello, my name is Jaidev. I am 14 years old and this is my second year of participating in FIRST Robotics (well 3rd because it's 2025). FTC is fun and it's even better when we win competitions with the robot we make. I hope I can still participate in First alongside the SciRavens once this season is over. I have 3 years of experience with coding languages Python and Java. Since this is my second year, I have learned the basics of the software and the hardware. I hope to further my knowledge and have fun with my teammates. Some other things I enjoy spending my time on are chess, taekwondo, running, and listening to music

Hi, I’m Vanshika, and this is my first year on an FTC Robotics team. I mainly focus on the design and building aspects of the robot, and I love figuring out how to bring our ideas to life. It’s been great learning new things and solving problems with my teammates. When i'm not doing robotics. I love playing the Euphonium and playing Block Blast. They both are great ways for me to unwind and have fun. I’m looking forward to continuing to learn and contribute as our team works toward our goals this season!
