And our official robot name is...........Orewhay!!! (spelling is up to interpretation)

Hello everybody, we regret to inform you that this year's Robotics Competition has been canceled for the time being due to COVID-19. It will most likely be rescheduled. We will update you with any information or updates we receive.

[Nu-matic Ninjas @Ninjas5626]

Another year, another Week 0 Competition and boy was it a doozie! While our robot may not have worked perfectly, we were able to learn what issues we still have to overcome before competition. Luckily we still have a month left to tweak a few problems and practice driving.

At our competition in Minneapolis we did very well for a team of 9th and 10th graders. We got 38th out of 60 teams, made it into the #1 alliance, and advanced to quarterfinals. We would like to thank our alliance members @Team3313 and @Cobalt3042 for their support! 🤖

As an added bonus to the competition, there were some amazing dance moves displayed by the masots and crowd alike!

[Nu-matic Ninjas @Ninjas5626]

Ended only in 43rd, but for me (being a newbie) it was all still really cool, as I met some really awesome people, got to learn a lot more about robotics and the community, and got to just have fun watching other teams compete! Already looking forward to next year's competition!

[Nu-matic Ninjas @Ninjas5626]

Even though we've lost every game except for one, it was still fun competing with and against all of you at @MNFIRSTRegional! Here's to the next day! @FIRSTweets #FIRSTPowerUp #OMGRobots

[Nu-matic Ninjas @Ninjas5626]

So we may have gone down a little. Just a little

@FRC3883 @Ninjas5626 Nu-Matic Ninjas Robotics Great Match 1. You played the game and beat the Boss! @IllinoisFIRST FIRST @MNFIRSTRegional

[Nu-matic Ninjas @Ninjas5626]

@PWNAGE2451Team @FRC3883 @IllinoisFIRST @MNFIRSTRegional Why thank you! We were Rank 1 for at least a little bit

May or may not have forgotten yesterday, but for all of our home viewers out there, here's a Livestream link: https://t.co/XGAqgmpfOh

Happiest of birthdays to big papa @FIRSTweets! Thank you guys so much for allowing everyone interested in STEM a chance to try out robotics, and compete with their mechanical friends

[Nu-matic Ninjas @Ninjas5626]

Of course, 1 of 2 decided to not work, but it had cool lights so it was all okay

[Nu-matic Ninjas @Ninjas5626]

Whoever said robotics kids are introverts are wrong because I just went up in front of the entire school to call them nerds for listening to me about robotics for 5 minutes. Oh, and our robots were there too. Minor detail

[Nu-matic Ninjas @Ninjas5626]

Being the PR guy is fun. So many emails, not enough time...

[Nu-matic Ninjas @Ninjas5626]

But when that Robot from scratch is made from scraps, you know you have a winner

[Nu-matic Ninjas @Ninjas5626]

Fun Fact: Robots made from scratch are the best robots. Gotta teach the newbies somehow

[Nu-matic Ninjas @Ninjas5626]

Heartfelt #BagAndTag our poor friend Darcee(or Darci, or Darcy; never agreed on spelling)! We'll miss you!

[Nu-matic Ninjas @Ninjas5626]

If we get multiple of these, we can have an arm-y! #WeekZero #FRC
