Who we are
From rookie season to Quality Award winner
TEDRA Robotics is the FIRST Robotics Competition team of TED Atakent Koleji in Istanbul, Türkiye. We entered our rookie season in 2025 and have since competed in four regional events across two seasons.
Our students handle mechanical design, CAD, electronics, programming, business and media — mentored by our teachers and supported by our school. Every season we ship a new robot in six weeks and learn ten times more than we planned to.
Beyond the field, FIRST is about impact. Our outreach projects are run by the same students who cut aluminium and write autonomous routines.

Quality Award — 2026 Avrasya Regional
The Quality Award celebrates machine robustness and craftsmanship in construction. It went to HYDRA, our 2026 robot — recognition that the details we obsessed over in the shop held up on the field.
