We are the Esquimalt Proton Pulverizers - FTC Team 23809 and FRC Team 7334, a community-based team aimed at engaging local teens in robotics. Our team strives to learn, develop skills, and explore topics related to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Our goals are to engineer, design, build, program and operate a competitive FIRST robot that meets the challenge of the problem set out for us. Success is measured in each member of the team gaining the ability to problem solve individually and as a unit, in addition to being able to explain their learning path through this adventure. 

Our team started with the Esquimalt Atom Smashers approaching local middle schools with an opportunity to explore FIRST robotics. This year was our second season competing in FIRST Technical Challenge, and we will be back again in the fall!

We were excited to explore a bigger and bolder challenge this summer - FIRST Robotics Competition! With some assistance from our mentor team, the Esquimalt Atom Smashers, we built a robot to compete in the Canadian Rockies Open 2025 and are going to Bellevue, WA for Bordie in Show in October! Please help us in our fundraising efforts to register as a full FRC team. If we raise enough, we hope to continue in the spring and compete formally in March 2026.
