About Us
Who We Are
A student-run robotics team from Bothell, Washington, united by a passion for engineering, programming, and making an impact.
Our Mission
Build. Compete. Inspire.
Pixel Raptors is an FTC (FIRST Tech Challenge) team founded in 2025. We design, build, and program competitive robots while developing leadership, teamwork, and real-world engineering skills.
Beyond competition, we're committed to inspiring STEM education in our community — mentoring younger teams, hosting workshops, and showing what students can achieve when they work together.
What is FIRST?

Teams also develop business plans, outreach strategies, and engineering documentation. FTC combines engineering, software, and community impact in a competitive format that prepares students for real-world careers.
