Dhruv Sachdeva

Hardware & Mechanical

Hello, my name is Dhruv Sachdeva, and I’m currently a Freshmen at Skyline High School. My journey in robotics began in elementary school when I was part of an robotics team for about a year and a half. I discovered my true passion for robotics in middle school after joining a remote-control car club, where I loved building, fixing, and tweaking the cars. This experience motivated me to join an FTC team in 8th grade, and I’ve been hooked ever since. Apart from robotics, I’m also active in sports. I’m a member of the tennis and basketball teams at school, and I participate in track and field as well. Basketball, in particular, is one of my biggest passions. I’m constantly working to improve my skills and push myself to be the best I can be. I also believe in being a supportive and positive teammate, encouraging others to strive for their best.

Hi, I’m Agrim Sharma, and I’m a Freshman at Inglemoor High School! I play percussion in the Inglemoor Band, which is super fun and a great way to make music with my friends. Drumming really helps me express myself and enjoy the rhythm of it all. I’m pretty calm under pressure, whether it’s during a performance or when things get hectic with schoolwork. I try to keep a positive vibe, and I love helping out my classmates whenever I can, whether that’s with group projects or supporting my bandmates during rehearsals. Teamwork is really important to me, and I enjoy being someone others can count on. Outside of band, I’m excited to explore other activities and meet new people. I can’t wait to see what this school year has in store for me and to make some awesome memories along the way!
