Thank you to @techfrederick @FITCInc @Atlassian for your support and for unlocking the potential of this @FTCTeams #robotics team.

Shoutout to @WizardsExe. You did an amazing job today. It was great competing with you and against you.

[S.T.E.A.M. Powered Robotics 12873 @STEAM12873]

Our alliance just scored 159 point in the last scrimmage. Highest score of the day so far!

[S.T.E.A.M. Powered Robotics 12873 @STEAM12873]

We made it to the @FTCTeams competition! Thank you @FITCInc @techfrederick @Atlassian for getting us here!

Safety first!
Always look out for "fingers ouchies zones" on your @FTCTeams #robot

Outcome > Output.
We start each build session with an outcome-based plan. When we reach the outcome, we stop and test the #robot build version.

Thanks again @FITCInc @techfrederick @Atlassian for your support!

When in doubt, make a #robotics checklist. Thank you @FITCInc @techfrederick @Atlassian for your support this season!

[S.T.E.A.M. Powered Robotics 12873 @STEAM12873]

Very excited about the progress we made on the #robot. We are calling the current build "speedy crane". We are programming the crane to rotate, raise, and lower. Thank you @FITCInc @techfrederick @Atlassian for your support! #Freightfrenzy @FTCTeams

[S.T.E.A.M. Powered Robotics 12873 @STEAM12873]

Made some minor improvements to "Speedy". Next week, we plan to upgrade the intake with another prototype we have. Iterate, iterate, iterate. Thank you @FITCInc @Atlassian @techfrederick for your support!

Good luck to all of the teams competing in tomorrow's @FTCTeams Columbia MD Qualifier 2.

Thank you @Atlassian @FITCInc @techfrederick for supporting our #robotics team this season. You inspire young people to be science and technology leaders and innovators.

[S.T.E.A.M. Powered Robotics 12873 @STEAM12873]

Play as a team. Learn as a team. We #pairprogram so we have a shared understanding of the code of our @FTCTeams robot. Thank you @FITCInc @techfrederick and @Atlassian for your support!

[S.T.E.A.M. Powered Robotics 12873 @STEAM12873]

@derekhuether Next week, we'll do some pair programming, merge the prototype builds, and iterate. @FTCTeams @FIRSTChesapeake

…. And we start our 1st in person match since Feb of 2020 which was 19 months!!!

Both Epsilon and Void competing against each other!
@FTCTeams

[S.T.E.A.M. Powered Robotics 12873 @STEAM12873]

Both prototypes are operational. Teamwork makes the dream work. @FTCTeams @FIRSTChesapeake #STEM #Maryland #Robotics

A little bit of duck carnage to test out intake prototype 1. We have success! @FIRSTweets @FTCTeams #freightfrenzy #robot @FIRSTChesapeake
