Nano KNIGHT

2023 Robot

Team 21333 RoboKnights qualified for state by being the winning alliance at the South Suburbs Meet.  This is the first state trip for us in our short 3 year existence!  We went 3-2 in qualification matches, running into some trouble with our grabber in the middle matches.  We were sitting in 9th place as alliance selection started and ended up moving up to the captains of the number 6 alliance.  The competition proved to be too much and we were eliminated after 2 playoff matches.  We learned a lot and will take our lessons with us as we look to make a repeat trip to state next year!

Team 26980 RoboKnights Reloaded ended their season with some very competitive matches!  Every match they played faced off against a team who ended up being in the playoffs.  Although they did not record a win on the day, they had two matches that were within less than 5 points.  They also scored their season best of 7 samples in the high basket during a match.  This team showed great improvement over the season!

Team 21333 RoboKnights has a GREAT DAY!  They ended qualification matches with a record of 4-1, with their only loss being by 7 points.  They earned the number 2 seed and were picked by the number 1 seed, TOTUS 1 TUUS, and together these two powerhouse teams walked through the playoff bracket.  This alliance scored 265 points twice in the playoffs, which is a new high score for the season!  The RoboKnights have now earned a berth to the state championships!

Team 26980 RoboKnights Reloaded finished up the regular season with a 2-2-1 record at South Suburbs Meet 3 at BBCHS.  They continued to show improvement in tele-op and also showed resilience as their auto code was not working for this meet, but they still ended up with 2 wins and a tie. 

Team 21333 RoboKnights finished the regular season with a 3-2 record at South Suburbs Meet 3 at BBCHS.  Both losses were close matches against strong opponents.  The RoboKnights and Ironclad paired up for a great match and scored 206 points, the high score for both the event and league so far this season.  After the lowest 5 scores were dropped, the RoboKnights head into the State Qualifier with a 10-0-0 record and the number 1 seed out of 27 teams.  

Team 26980 RoboKnights Reloaded competed in only their second meet of all time and went 3-2 in five competitive matches.  This shows great improvement over the first meet!  They increased their autonomous to scoring 2 samples in the low basket and parking.  They had a fun match with RoboKnights 21333 as their partners where they scored the event high score of 175!

Team 21333 The RoboKnights had another great day!  The team ended with a record of 4-1-1 and are currently ranked number 1 in the conference and number 2 in the area.  The RoboKnights improved their already best in the state autonomous to scoring 32 points!  They were able to team up with the RoboKnights Reloaded 26980 to score the event high score of 175.

Team 26980 RoboKnights Reloaded competed in their first ever event and went 1-4 in five competitive matches, earning their first win in program history!  They were able to score a sample in the low basket and then park during autonomous, making them the only rookie team at the event with multiple scoring auto.  They ended the day with a highly competitive match, scoring 103 points!

Team 21333 The RoboKnights had a banner day.  The team ended with a perfect 5-0-0 record on the day, are currently ranked number 1 in the conference (out of 27 teams) and scored 164 points in one of their matches today, which is the highest score so far this season in the entire state.  The RoboKnights had the best autonomous scoring at the meet, scoring 24 points every match and are currently ranked number 1 in the state and number 19 in the nation as far as auto scoring!

At the state qualifier, we advanced to the semifinals, where we were narrowly defeated by the eventual tournament champions.  We also won two awards.  The Connect Award - given to the team who most connects with their local STEM community, and the Motivate Award - given to the team who makes the best effort to make FIRST robotics known throughout their school and community. 

Our robot performed wonderfully, with our alliance scoring over 100 points in 3 of our matches!  We scored our maximum in most autonomous periods and suspended from the rigging in all matches!  We ended up 3-3 on the day. 

We hosted our first meet ever!  We went 3-3 on the day and were a very strong robot.  One of our losses was by 1 point and another by less than 5.  Overall is was a good meet.

Our robot performed wonderfully at our first meet, scoring the majority of the points for our alliance in the first 4 close matches and then finally winning the last match of the day.  

Our conference championship meet, we went 4-1 on the day and were also given the Top Rookie Award for the conference.

We went 4-1 on the day and scored a 153 in the final match which was the high raw score of the meet!

We went 3-2 on the day and scored a 125 in the final match, which was our high score at the time.

Our first meet ever, we struggled and first, but finally got our first win in the our final match, we were 1-4 on the day.
