Our Workplace
Our Workplace
Working in the garage of the house of two of our teammates, we didn't have nearly as many resources or manpower as other teams, especially high schools. However, that didn't stop us from competing in FTC competitions.

Although we don't have a professional facility, we make the most with what we have. Safety is one of the most important things in our workplace. We keep ourselves safe while being productive and having fun.
Here in this picture, team Build-a-Bot and one from team Move-a-Bot is constructing the drive train of our robot. Cooperation and determination is part of what makes our team great.

Meet our programming space! All of our team members have taken the time to learn the basics of Java programming to ensure that we can all contribute.
Did you know that we use a Raspberry Pi as a secondary computer? A Raspberry Pi is a small micro-processor the size of your palm! Isn't that crazy? Although it isn't as fast as a conventional computer, we are able to use it for conceptual programming, recording data, and viewing documentation!

One of our crew members was kind enough to donate a 3D printer for our use! Our 3D-Print-A-Part Crew worked very hard to set-up this device so that we could create customized parts for our robot.
It took some time for us to successfully print a usable part--but our persistent nature allowed us to get it done right.
Competitions
Competitions
During the 2022-23 FTC season, we were put into the Bardeen League, which is considered the toughest in the state. We participated in two qualifying rounds in Duvall, WA, and then in the Feynman interleague competition. We also participated in the Annual Washington Tech Invitational, organized by Saints Robotics and FTC team High Definition #18225.

Qualifiers
Qualifiers
During both qualifier rounds of the FTC season, we competed in Duvall, WA. Being a new team, the robot design we had during the first round was very bulky and unstable. The gripper we had at this point had to grab the scoring cones in a specific way at the bottom, the arm it was attached to was very heavy and sometimes caused the robot to tip over. We didn't score very well during the matches and went home disappointed.
However, that didn't stop us from improving our design. Between the time of the first and second qualifying rounds, we completely rebuilt the robot. Our robot's gripper and lift were redesigned multiple times before the second round. With our improved robot, we scored more points than ever in competition and even held a world record for points scored legally with SushiSquad #14179.

With a couple more improvements to our robots build and code we headed to the interleague round. With a final robot design that matched our desires, we scored highly, were selected during alliance selection for the finals, and won the Design Award for our robot.

After our experience at the interleague round, we were happy to have had received an invitation to compete once more. It is held by Saints Robotics and FTC team High Definition #18225 at Interlake High School in Bellevue. Our alliance, with partners High Definition #18225 and the Emerald Bots #19708, won the competition against 2-0 against the opposing alliance.
