The Happy Haptic
Doctors

Eight middle and high schoolers from along the NH/VT border — all at the same school, all driven by curiosity and a love of robotics.

Happy Haptic Doctors at NH State Competition
"Our goal as a team is to try to make sure that everyone is doing something, and something they want to be doing."

Our team, The Happy Haptic Doctors, is made up of eight middle and high schoolers assisted by two coaches. All of us live along the borders of New Hampshire and Vermont, yet go to the same school. Most of our members attended FLL in 2022–24 and traveled to Houston, TX for FLL World Competition. For high school we decided to attend FTC, and in 2025 we attended the NE FTC Competition, winning first in our division.
