Builder

Christopher Dycus

I am a sophmore and this is my second year in FTC. In the last four years, I participated in the Greenhill FLL team, where I discovered my passion for robotics. I like to build anything, whether it’s electronics or plastic models. I have been interested in electronics and robotics for most of my life and I look forward to working with Viridian in the next year.

Programmer

Timmy Nadolsky

Hi, I’m Timmy and I’m a sophmore. This is my second year of FTC. I’ve been in FLL for a while, and I’m excited to be writing Java and using advanced sensors and techniques for Viridian. I’ve also had experience with other object-oriented programming languages, as well as with VEX Robotics systems. I hope that I will learn a lot this year in FTC!

Varun Sureka

I’m a sophmore and this is my second year on the team. I love building things and am really excited for this season. I’ve never really did robotics before, and last year I decided that I wanted to give it a shot. I can’t wait to see what this season is going to be like.

Builder

Travis Mann

My name is Travis Mann and this is my second year with Viridian Robotics. I contribute by building and fixing the robot as needed. As a child, I enjoyed playing with Legos and building things, which likely contributed to my liking of building today. Outside of robotics I do cross country and golf as sports. I also bike and enjoy taking pictures.

Programmer

Abhi Padala

My name is Abhi Padala and this is my second year with FTC and first year on Viridian Robotics. I'm a builder on the team and enjoy it a ton since it is extremely rewarding to build your own creations. In my free time I spend a lot of my time playing chess, reading, and playing games. In Viridian I have helped build the chassey, arm, and vertical lift.

Manager

Aarian Dhanani

My name is Aarian Dhanani. I am a sophomore at Greenhill. I did FLL in middle school, and I’m excited for FTC! I’m a programmer on the team and I’m hoping to learn about robotics and teach more people next year. I’ve been helping with testing and ideas for the autonomous. I am experienced with Adobe Photoshop along with Premiere. Outside of school, I enjoy swimming and designing concept art.

Sophomores

Sophomore

Builder

Azal Amer

Hi! I’m Azal, a freshman. This is my fourth year of FIRST Robotics and my first year of FTC. I'm a builder/designer because I like working with my hands and seeing things come together. I've been working in tech for awhile, and I have my own journal for ideas. It all started when I began to work with a Raspberry Pi in Lower School. My passion for technology blew up from there. Outside of school, I run cross country, and I used to do quizbowl.

Sophomore

Designer

Christopher Row

Hi, I’m Chris. This is my first year of FTC as well as my first year on a robotics team. I joined because I wanted to use the 3D Printers, which is why I’m a designer. Outside of school I like to play video games. Robotics is lots of fun, and I’m glad that I joined.
