“Hey y’all! I’m Anusha, and this is my second year on the TerrorBytes, and my 8th year in FIRST. On the team, I’ll be focusing on marketing (so in other words, I'll probably have a camera in your face 24/7 😭). When I’m not at robotics, I’m usually at a concert, listening to music (shoutout ariana grande and kaytranada), on facetime, or spending time with my friends!! I LOVE meeting new people, so please don’t hesitate to reach out whenever :)”
Fabrication Lead
Jackson P.
“Wazza, I’m Jackson and the lead for fabrication (undisputed best subteam) this year. We just got a new CNC and laser cutter this year so it’s the perfect time to learn how to use them. Those are the really cool ones but we have so many other awesome tools to use. If you ever have any questions about materials engineering or machining I would love to have a conversation, so reach out and talk to me. ‘It looks nice ‘cause it was done twice’”
