Team Mexico 2018

Team Mexico is formed by students from different schools and states, the youngest member is 15 years old and the oldest is 18. Of the 7 participants, 4 are members of the FTC category and from Chihuahua, Chihuahua, a city near the United States border, while the other 3 students, members of an FRC team, live 1,449 km away, in Mexico City. Our mentor and team manager are FIRST mentors with the will of transmitting their knowledge to us. One of the difficulties the team has overcome is working remotely with each other, choosing the best strategy has also been difficult because of the different backgrounds and experiences from each category. Being from different cities, categories, and ages has made the Mexican team a very complete and open group. All of the students are focused on pursuing an engineering major, and the opportunity of representing our country is a fulfilling experience. We know any problem that we face can be overcome with effort and resilience, which we think are two characteristics of Mexicans, as well as facing the problems with a smile.
