Who We Are

About Trionix

Trionix is a rookie FIRST Tech Challenge team of nine students in grades 7 to 9 from Alpharetta, Georgia, founded in June 2026. We are a fully student-led, community-based team competing in the 2026-27 CANOPY season. Donations are tax deductible through our 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsor.

1

Mission

Our mission is to turn curiosity into engineering. We design, build, and code competition robots as a fully student-led team, developing real-world skills in engineering, programming, and collaboration while sharing our passion for STEM with the communities around us.

2

Vision

Our vision is to grow from a rookie team into a lasting STEM community. We aim to inspire the next generation of engineers, support and mentor fellow robotics teams around the world, and show that a student-run team can compete and give back on any stage.

3

Values

We live the FIRST values of Gracious Professionalism® and Coopertition®. Students run the team: every member serves on at least two sub-teams, and students lead every build, code, and outreach decision.

The People

Our Team

Trionix is organized into four student-led sub-teams. Every member serves on at least two, so knowledge is shared across the whole team.

Team Captain: Sophia R.

My name is Sophia Ranjitkar, I am 14 years old, and I'm in 9th grade at FCS Innovation Academy. I am the team captain of Trionix, so I organize and plan for the team. I was in FLL for two years and this is my third year in FTC. When I'm not working in FTC, I play the drumset and clarinet, I am in my school's fencing team, and I play videogames.
