West coast invitational

This off-season FTC competition featured 14 teams, including some robots built by FRC teams just for this event. We’re super excited to share that we made it to the finals as the finalist alliance captain! It’s been a few years since we brought home a trophy for being the finalist alliance captain, so this achievement feels extra special.

Event Highlights

  • Field Coach Experience: Our trainee field coach had a blast being field coach at their first event. It was his first time as the alliance representative, and he loved talking strategy with new people. He hopes he will get to do it again in future competitions.
  • Competing and Collaborating: Playing against teams from Washington was really fun. We especially enjoyed teaming up with Wright Angle; we worked really well together in the finals.
  • Diverse Teams: A lot of the teams were off-season demo teams made up of students who usually compete in FRC. It was cool to see how they brought their FRC experience into this season’s game.

A big thanks to the event organizers for hosting such a fantastic competition and for inviting us to join. We can’t wait for more events and to continue connecting with the awesome robotics community!

Arriving at Worlds 2024

FIX IT 3491 arrived in Houston Texas for Worlds yesterday at around 6pm (Houston time)!!!

On our flight to Houston, the pilot made an announcement congratulating us for going to Worlds, and wished us the best of luck! Thanks Sean for making it happen!

During our unpacking in the Hilton hotel, we found a letter from the TSA wishing us the best of luck and saying that they were gentle with our robot, Captain Hook. 

Last night we were out on Discovery Green and we walked around, ate some pizza and had some fun!!!
