64 teams in the pit area. This competition is massive.

Just donated to a cause that builds toilets in places where access to sanitation is a struggle. It's a small effort that can make a big difference. Please consider helping too! gofund.me/1909a015

First match completed. We didn't win but we know what the issues are. Gaffer tape and cable ties to the rescue. #resilience #morethanrobotsuk FIRST UK 🤖🌃

There's a team coach on the verge of tears here! The BarrelBots are through the first round of matches and have been chosen as alliance partners for the next round. FIRST UK 🤖🌃 TheKing'sSchoolOSM #morethanrobotsuk

Won the second match 128:63! Doing so well but some faults developing. FIRST UK 🤖🌃 Dodgy servo maybe? #morethanrobotsuk Nail-biting tension.

We won that one 125 : 124. FIRST UK 🤖🌃 TheKing'sSchoolOSM #morethanrobotsuk. The team is on fire. We're going to need 3 bigger barrel to keep the heat in!

...and sadly eliminated in that last match against the top alliance. A score of 104 to 215. So lovely to work with #25044 "Kraken The Code". FIRST UK 🤖🌃 TheKing'sSchoolOSM #morethanrobotsuk
