25-26 Season
Qualifier 1
At the our first Qualifier in Richmond, our team earned the prestigious Inspire 1 Award. We had worked for months building connections and reaching out to students in our local schools in our county to those in across international borders in Syria and Ethiopia. We believe that given the opportunity, access and resources, in any corner of the world, every child with an interest in robotics can shine and compete on the global platform. Winning Inspire 1 was rewarding our efforts as FIRST robotics ambassadors. We also qualified for states and participated in playoff matches too.
Many thanks to our sponsors and collaborators for supporting us through this journey to foster interest in Robotics and STEM throughout the world!
Qualifier 2
We were the winning alliance at our second qualifier with team 23840 Howard Dynamics (Many thanks to them for their support!). We won the Control award for fantastic in-game driving, sensor use, and programming. We once again qualified for states
Qualifier 3
We were the Winning Alliance at our third Qualifier too thanks to the wonderful teamwork and support of team Gear Rotation 18442! We also won the Reach award for cross-border outreach to spread robotics. We qualified for states a third time!
Chesapeake Regionals
At the FIRST Chesapeake Regional Competition, we came in hoping for success, but knowing nothing was promised. It was a joy to compete with fellow teams, providing a challenge to boost us to success. We were a member of the of the Blue Crab Division, making our way through the bracket and all the way to the finals against the winning alliance of the Red Cardinal Division. With our Alliance Partner Minerva's Mechanics, we won the whole thing and advanced to Worlds. We want to give a huge shoutout to FTC teams Stratos 31701, Howard Dynamics 23840, Gear Rotation 18442, and Minerva's Mechanics 11525. They were a huge help in our growth as a team and expanding our family beyond our team. We also want to thank all of the mentors who guided us along the way, whether it be in coding, CAD, outreach, or simply fostering a successful team. Shoutout to our fantastic robot Carbon-14!
