2026 KC West League Tournament
ABOUT US
We are the Cobalt Colts, team FTC#6547, a community team from Overland Park, KS. We have 13 teammates from 6 different high schools around our neighborhood. We currently meet in an empty office space that we are renting, and are able to accomplish lots despite our less-than-professional workshop. Our team is completely student inspired, and every single person on our team brings something unique and special.
Ever since becoming a neighborhood team, we have taken pride in our initiatives to spread STEM and FIRST programs throughout our community, especially across our home state of Kansas. By developing partnerships with many local companies and fellow FIRST teams, we work to make a widespread positive impact on our community.

Zoe's Wheelchair Costume
Zoe can’t wait to broadcast the weather on TV when she grows up! This Halloween, we created a custom meteorologist wheelchair costume for Zoe to actually present the weather in front of a real TV screen.
She won a costume contest and was featured on TV news!
WE WANT TO HELP YOUR TEAM SUCCEED!
Our team's goal is to learn new things, meet new people, and share what we've learned with others. We've learned a lot over our years in FTC, so we want to share that knowledge with you.
So, we've created resources to help YOUR team learn new things & accomplish your FIRST goals. (Or, if you are not yet part of FIRST Robotics, we also have guidance for you to start a new team!)
