We haven’t shared here in sometime. Our district has moved away from using this platform for various reasons, and we have more engagement on our FB and IG accounts. If you’d like to follow along with our progress in #Decode and future endeavors, check us out on both, @robovikes.

We are new to the Bluesky game. Any teams using yet?

It’s “Dress Like A Superhero” day here at LaBrae for #redribbonweek. Check out Sam’s costume! He 3D printed and painted the helmet. When asked how he planned to be able to see w/o his glasses, “I have a pair in the helmet.”

Some major developments happening at practice these last two weeks! Our drive chassis is finalized and we’ve got a rotating arm with one of our retractable viper kits installed. Working on different sample picker uppers next week, this first design looks good so far!

HUGE thank you to @esceasternohio for this donation of a @DEWALTtough tool kit! Mr. Wolford & the CBI program recently went to the Skilled Trades Expo & won a raffle & donated it to the #RoboVikes.

Excited to announce that one of our founding members Brady Phillips has returned to Room 929 to serve as a mentor! He’s speaking w/ team captain Sam about how engineering projects work in the “real world” & how he can lead our team as we venture #INTOTHEDEEP in FTC this year.

[LaBrae Robotics #14518 @RoboVikes]

Huge announcement!

We have received a grant from the @HowmetAero_Fdn to fully fund our middle school robotics class! Special thanks to our friends at @pitscoed for helping us with the logistics!

[LaBrae Robotics #14518 @RoboVikes]

Take a looksie at this shipment we just received! BIG things in the works from @LocoRobotics and Junior Achievement USA for our new Drone Entrepreneurship program at @LaBraeHS!

[LaBrae Robotics #14518 @RoboVikes]

We are super excited to share that our team has been selected to receive a https://t.co/tP6oAAiTPs grant that covers our registration, tournaments, field kit, and even a new robot kit from our friends at @gobilda! Special thanks to Bre from @wpafbeo for sharing the application!

[LaBrae Robotics #14518 @RoboVikes]

WOWZA! Coach won a freebie bundle from our friends at @pitscoed, we now have these super cool blue #tetrix pieces! Thanks so much, can’t wait to dive INTO THE DEEP!

In a #BPRC first, Bryson and Cayman have built a balloon powered car that doesn’t involve inflating the balloon! WOWZA!

[LaBrae Robotics #14518 @RoboVikes]

Sam and Steven are practicing flying through the obstacle course using line of sight. Next week, we are going to give the FPV goggles a go!

[LaBrae Robotics #14518 @RoboVikes]

Getting some Capture the Flag practice in with our Tello drones. Next week, we’re busting out the TinyHawk racing drone to see what we can do!

[LaBrae Robotics #14518 @RoboVikes]

Getting a feel for aerial acrobatics! Though not quite the same as our racing drones, we are starting to get a hang of being airborne!

[LaBrae Robotics #14518 @RoboVikes]

Good morning! We have officially passed inspection and are cleared to compete! We’d like to thank all of our parents and families for lending us your kids, our supporters at school, and the companies that have financially supported us along the way!
