About the toasters
Certified pre-burnt since day one.
Why "Underengineered"?
We take the engineering seriously and ourselves lightly. We picked a name that sets expectations on the floor, then we build over it.
The joke only works because the engineering underneath is serious: CAD reviews, version-controlled code, and a maintained engineering notebook, all wrapped in toaster puns. FIRST Tech Challenge is an international competition where high-school teams engineer 18-inch robots to play a new game each season. We're students at Monte Vista High School in Danville, California: we compete, we document, and we share what we learn.
Thinking about joining? No experience required. If you can hold a wrench, write a line of code, or narrate a robot demo, we'll find you a slot.

The humans behind the smoke
One robot, zero unsupervised flames. Per FIRST youth-protection rules (and our parents), it's first names only. The roles are very real.
