TRC
Overview
TRC is a team of mostly college-age students from the Tufts Robotics Club at Tufts University, and is based out of Medford, Massachusetts. TRC has competed in four NHRL competitions to date, with the first unofficial appearance being the April 2022 competition, the first official appearance occurring at the January 2023 competition, and the latest being in May of 2023.
The name TRC was chosen because the club has never officially been granted official authorization to use the Tufts brand outside of the university. As a result, the team likes to joke that TRC is an acronym that stands for anything you can think of that is not Tufts Robotics Club. Asking different team members will yield different answers as to what they consider TRC to mean; team member Tom Jaeger has said that TRC stands for Total Robot Chaos, while team member Max Morningstar claims it stands for Team Roboctopi: Combat Division, in reference to his FRC team of the same name.
