Joshua Lin

Joshua Lin represents Titanium Robotics (FIRST Robotics Competition Team 1160), a student-led high school robotics program based at San Marino High School in San Marino, California. Now entering its 23rd year as a team, Titanium Robotics designs, builds, and programs competitive robots to participate in international challenges organized by the FIRST® Robotics Competition. Dedicated to fostering engagement in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), the organization combines hands-on engineering experience with regional educational outreach and community engagement initiatives.

In this episode, Joshua discusses the operational structure, team dynamics, and engineering workflows that drive Titanium Robotics. The conversation explores how students collaborate to design and program competition-ready robots within strict time limits, prepare for FIRST® Robotics Competition events, and lead local STEM educational programs. Key topics include the impact of high school engineering opportunities, the technical problem-solving skills developed through team competition, and the group’s efforts to use robotics as a platform for positive community outreach.

For San Gabriel Valley viewers, this episode provides a look into a long-running student engineering program based in San Marino. Supporters of Titanium Robotics and the broader FIRST® Robotics community will value the discussion on student leadership, technical development, and competition preparation. Anyone searching online for high school STEM education, youth robotics programs, or engineering pathways will find a clear example of how local students apply technical training to solve real-world problems.
