Allie Cadenhead

I participated in FTC for six years, earning recognition as an FTC Florida Dean’s List Finalist in 2023. In 2022, I became a founding member of the FRC team Special Forces Ballistabots, and in 2024, I helped establish the FRC team Fathom Robotics. I graduated in 2024 with both my high school diploma and Associate of Arts degree, becoming Fathom Robotics’ first alumni student.

Currently, I mentor four FTC teams and two FRC teams, continuing to support students as they grow in STEM, leadership, and teamwork.

I am now attending Auburn University, pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Forestry and Wildlife Pre-Veterinary Medicine, and plan to graduate in Spring 2027. I also serve as the President of the FIRST Alumni Club at Auburn University, helping connect and support fellow FIRST alumni on campus.

I participated in both FTC and FRC for two years, including helping to found FRC team Fathom Robotics in 2024. I graduated in 2025 with both my high school diploma and Associate of Arts degree, becoming apart of Fathom Robotics’ second alumni class.

Currently, I mentor FTC team 16626 Radical Raiders and FRC team 9787 Fathom Robotics, helping students grow their skills in engineering, teamwork, and leadership through hands-on experience in robotics.

I am now attending Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Aeronautical Engineering as I work toward a career in the aerospace industry.

I participated in both FTC and FRC for two years during high school, including playing a key role in founding FRC Team 9787 Fathom Robotics in 2024. I graduated in 2025, becoming part of Fathom Robotics’ second alumni class.

Currently, I serve as a mentor for FRC Team 9787 Fathom Robotics and am passionate about giving back to the programs that shaped me. As I begin my undergraduate studies at the University of Colorado Boulder, where I am pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, I am actively seeking local teams and organizations near campus where I can continue mentoring and supporting the next generation of FIRST participants.
