Download our updated Engineering Portfolio Resource for the DECODE FTC season!
One of the most important things to work on, if you want to win awards, is your Engineering Portfolio. Your portfolio should tell the story of your team through the current season and include engineering content (drawings, CAD, math, etc). This is most easily done by documenting both your team meetings and the progress of your robot in real time in an Engineering Notebook first. Then, when you are creating your portfolio before a competition you can easily pull content from your notebook.
Please check back soon to download versions of our resource translated in several other languages. If your team would like to contribute their translation skills for outreach, please reach out at teamwithoutacoolacronym@gmail.com.
V1 of our resource was created after we attended the 2022 FIRST Championship and were lucky to colloborate with 4 other championship winning teams. Using our own resource we won the Think Award at the 2023 FIRST Championship! At both the 2024 & 2025 FIRST Championships we visited many teams that were excited to tell us how our resource helped them create their portfolios (many of which were award winners at championship)!
Since our initial release, we have collaborated yearly with teams to release new versions to coincide with the release of the new Competition Manuals.
New this season we are working on translating the resource to several languages including:
– Spanish
– Chinese
– French
– Arabic
– Romanian
Our team loves to share our previous season’s Engineering Portfolio to help teams just starting out or to help teams that are ready to up their Engineering Portfolio game! We always love hearing about how teams use our portfolio to find success in their own portfolios, so please reach out to us and let us know how you did this season! Please enjoy these portfolios that we submitted to the FIRST Championship in 2022 and 2023. The 2023 portfolio won the Think Award at the 2023 FIRST Championship for the Franklin Division!
