About Us
6165 MSET Cuttlefish is a FIRST Tech Challenge robotics team that competes in the NorCal region of California, US. Our team CADs, builds, manufactures and codes our own new robot each year for each new, exciting game challenge. In addition to robot-building, our students also organize outreach events, talk to sponsors, and help give back to our community in STEM-related ways! Being on Cuttlefish teaches students how to make mistakes and learn from them as a team.
Our team has participated in the following FTC seasons: Ring It Up! Block Party! Cascade Effect, Res-Q, Velocity Vortex, Relic Recovery, Rover Ruckus, Skystone, Ultimate Goal, Freight Frenzy, POWERPLAY, and CENTERSTAGE. |
Our team is part of MSET Robotics, or Mechanical Science and Engineering Team, a robotics club in Saratoga High School. MSET was originally founded in 2001 with one FIRST Robotics Challenge team named 649 MSET Fish, but starting in 2012 expanded to include 3 FTC teams, including our sister teams 7390 MSET Jellyfish and 7641 MSET Bettafish. Our team, 6165 MSET Cuttlefish, is the oldest FTC team in MSET Robotics.
