My name is Arush Shah and I'm a senior at the Bergen County Academies. I love to code and build things in my free time and I joined the JDroids just for those reasons. I'm the captain of programming on the team this year and I work on the autonomy of the robot along with Sruthi, Sakshi, Sangjun, and Kelly. Some of my skills include Java, Python, HTML/CSS, JavaScript, C, and 6502 assembly. I love to write algorithms and logic to solve real world problems. I'm looking forward to this season because there is a large focus on autonomous this year and I'm excited to compete.

My name is Carly Jeon and I am a 17-year-old junior at Wayne Hills High School. My personal interests include drawing, theatre arts, and playing the piano and ukulele. My brother, a JDroids Alum, introduced me to the team. I hope to learn more about robotics and engineering through this team, and to contribute with my artistic interests. My experience with FIRST and JDroids will also help me to develop the methodical mindset one required for a career in graphic design.

My name is Sruthi Soorian and I am 16 years old. I am currently a junior at Wayne Valley High School. This is my second year participating in the First Tech Challenge. I've always been interested in computers and programming ever since I was younger and I hope to major in Computer Science later in college. Joining the JDroids was my introduction to robotics and I enjoy every minute of being on the team. Other than robotics, my other hobbies include singing, piano, and tennis.

My name is Sangjun Ko, and I am a junior attending Wayne Hills High School. I had prior experience with JDroids back when I was a part of the Science Bowl Team. Back then, I focused mainly in the mathematics part because mathematics was, and still is, my main interest. I then went into a 3-year hiatus, and a few months Anthony asked me if I wanted to join again as programmer. So here I am now, back with many new people, and I hope to learn and experience much more about robotics and engineering.

My name is Lorenzo Cinelli and this is my second year on team JDroids. I am 16 years old, and a junior at Wayne Hills High School. My interests include engineering, inventing and building, biking, and bowling. I joined and stayed on the JDROIDS robotics team because robotics and engineering appeal to me greatly. I have gained a strong interest in robotics, and have been building projects in my garage since I was only nine years old. Joining a private robotics team would further increase my interests in robotics and engineering, while teaching me valuable lessons. My future career would be in the field of electrical engineering.

My name is Jacob Lukowiak and I am a 16-year- old junior in Wayne Hills High School. My interests include, history, novels, engineering, and video games. I hope to learn how to better design, plant, build, and study during my time on the team. With the experience I gain from FIRST I hope to get a degree in mechanical engineering, with a specialization in robotics.

My name is Jacob Kessler and I am a 16-year- old junior at Wayne Hills High School. From an early age I had a strong interest in building and was fascinated with just how things work. My interest of both mechanical engineering and computer programming has made my latest involvement with the JDROIDS team a perfect fit. This year, I look forward to take Java and Cad courses as I continue to develop my interest in the mechanical engineering field. When I am not playing video games or watching YouTube tutorials with my friends, I am skiing “black-diamond” ski trails as much as possible.

My name is Ashley Kibel and I am a 13-year-old 8th grader at George Washington Middle School. My personal interests include drawing, dancing, and building robots. The Wayne Town Public Library introduced me to team JDroids. I hope to learn more about robotics and engineering through this team, and to contribute with my creative ideas. My experience with FIRST and JDroids will also help me to develop the methodical mindset one required for a career in graphic design.

My name is Daniel Siuffe and I am a 13-year-old 8th grade student at Schuyler Colfax middle school. Some of my interests include robots, computers, cars, mobile technology, Mountain bikes, soccer, mathematics, playing the saxophone, and technology is general. I joined JDroids because I always had an interest in robots and knew there was a team but never actually got serious until a presentation at the library gave me more information about the team. JDroids will definitely help me in future as a mechanical engineer.

My name is Demetri Giotis and I am a 13 year-old 8th grader at Anthony Wayne Middle School. My personal interests include playing trumpet and pursuing my goal of becoming an Eagle Scout. I hope this team can increase my knowledge of robotics. I joined because of my personal interest in the topic. I hope to learn how to design/build a robot and increase my knowledge and interest of robotics.

My name is Sakshi Lende and I am a 13-year-old 8th grader at Anthony Wayne Middle School. My personal interests include painting, reading, community service, playing flute and piano. I joined the team because I saw them and was inspired by them in a library outreach event. I hope to learn more about programming and to increase my knowledge of Java.
