Sitting 5th for alliance selection!

Off to State, we won the Inspire award! Thanks to our winning alliance captain Deviation (FTC16457), and second selection The Incredibots (9342). Thanks also to our sponsors Schneider Electric and Homewood Science!

All of our matches from the league qualifier, including semi-final and finals on our YouTube channel - youtube.com/watch?v=mwqIYx… Thanks again to Kankakee School District Robotics Team for hosting, and streaming the matches live, our family and fans watched along from all over!

Our intake, outtakes. W2F-70 can stack like mad, but is also great at delivering stones to other stackers! See you at IL State! #FTCChampsIL #FTCIllinois #Skystone

Practice like you’ll play (blue field perimeter at state has messed with color sensing and CV before!)

We are not paranoid! Let’s just say that we take measures to avoid repeating near disasters?

Can’t fix this during back time back matches :(

Our ring returns seem to curve in such a way that it may tend to direct rings to the outside of the field. (The curve is mirrored red/blue). Has anyone else noticed this? #ultimateGoal

We're going to the State tournament! We ranked 8th on robot performance, won 2nd Place Inspire and the Think award. Thanks to Schneider Electric and the Homewood Science for their continued support. Congratulations to all the other advancing teams, we'll "see you" in a few weeks!

It’s a work with the doors wide open kind of evening!
