Getting ready for competition! New Robot in a week!

[Helias Catholic Robotics @HeliasRobotics]

A bit scary when they rip up robots the day after successful competitions to redesign and make them better in less than 2 weeks! @FTCMO #HeliasRobotics #SaderStrong

Some of the best moments from today's scrimmage! Thank you to @LASER3284 FTC Teams for hosting it!
Today was our first event of the season. The scrimmage was a low-pressure time to meet other teams, share ideas, and work on the robots.

We were honored to attend the Zenith Invitational yesterday. A big shout-out to ZenithRobotics #23307 for hosting us! The team learned lots through workshops, and had fun running our robot with the other teams.

The RoboCrusaders did well on Saturday, but did not advance, so our season ends here.
However, the team did an incredible job this season, tackling challenges we have never overcome before! So we can't wait to see what's next, and watch out for us next year!

[Helias Catholic Robotics @HeliasRobotics]

Update!: Three matches down and the team is working hard! Doing well so far!

[Helias Catholic Robotics @HeliasRobotics]

Passed field inspection! The day is off to a good start.

Helias Catholic Robotics is getting ready for the MO/KS Regional Championship March 2. Excited to meet so many new teams #SaderStrong

[Helias Catholic Robotics @HeliasRobotics]

Today, the team worked on robot driving practice, different paper airplane designs (part of the competition), the engineering portfolio, making team buttons to give to other teams, and 3D printing.

[Helias Catholic Robotics @HeliasRobotics]

Today, the team reflected on Saturday's competition, and planned and strategized about the state championship. Also, on Wednesday is a planned trip to St. Martin Catholic Parish School to present to the students.

A huge shoutout to captain ZenithRobotics #23307 and first pick Eldon LEAP FTC Robotics for being our alliance partners and together becoming the winning alliance at yesterday's SW Mid MO League Tournament!

Tomorrow is the regional qualifer for the RoboCrusaders! Cheer us on in the O'Reilly Family Event Center at @DruryUniversity!
So far, there doesn't seem to be a livestream link to watch tomorrow's event, but if we find out, we will let you know.

[Helias Catholic Robotics @HeliasRobotics]

Check the robot is ready for Saturday's competition!
The team also ran practice matches, and went over the judging presentation.

[Helias Catholic Robotics @HeliasRobotics]

Today, the team had a practice judging session, with coaches and a parent as the judges. They also worked on the engineering portfolio, program for autonomous mode, and driving practice.
Note: This picture is from a past competition, not today's judging practice.

[Helias Catholic Robotics @HeliasRobotics]

The team polished the autonomous (robot driving on its own) program, worked on the judging presentation, and discussed strategy for the upcoming Feb 3 Regional Qualifier.
