If you know a little bit of our league's history - this is a bit of a throwback to our Relic Recovery Robot - an exciting season for TNT, for sure!

[FTC Team #9929 @FTC9929]

Introducing our new livery for next weekend's league qualifier. TNT's looking forward to having a lot of fun in Kankakee - can't wait to play Freight Frenzy again! Thanks to our sponsors @SchneiderElec and @HomewoodScience - we couldn't do this without your generosity!

[FTC Team #9929 @FTC9929]

The new intake works much better at getting stuff out of corners and off of walls!

It’s a work with the doors wide open kind of evening!

[FTC Team #9929 @FTC9929]

We're going to the State tournament! We ranked 8th on robot performance, won 2nd Place Inspire and the Think award. Thanks to @SchneiderElec and the @HomewoodScience for their continued support. Congratulations to all the other advancing teams, we'll "see you" in a few weeks!

SDK-6.0 and Android Studio Users - If you want a build without warnings (as our team does), install the NDK (Tools -> SDK Manager), build, see warning "No compatible side-by-side NDK..." happen, and then click on the link to in the console to fix it. @IllinoisFIRST @FTCTeams

Our ring returns seem to curve in such a way that it may tend to direct rings to the outside of the field. (The curve is mirrored red/blue). Has anyone else noticed this? #ultimateGoal

Kaylin with her mom’s help (a MSE in metallurgy from Purdue) learning to analyze the failure of the drill bit that came with our game elements this season. We try to never miss a learning opportunity in FTC! @andymarkinc #morethanrobots

BTS of the FIRST Illinois FTC Kick-off stream this morning, are you going to be there? https://t.co/eFqVC7GuR3 #ILFTC

Looking at ways to write code for your robot, without having access to the robot for #UltimateGoal? See how we are using unit tests and fake hardware implementations to do just that - https://t.co/M9cX9WuaUc #FTC @FTCTeams @FIRSTweets @IllinoisFIRST

[FTC Team #9929 @FTC9929]

Kick-Off is coming! Get ready with more space for your ideas to solve Ultimate Goal with these instructions for inexpensive whiteboards from our pit chief, Kaylin:

Five seasons of tool purchases for FTC...what we've learned - https://t.co/I4EB5ne48U

@opmrj TNT has been there (multiple times, at qualifiers and at state!). We are looking forward to seeing Vulcan2 in the fall, returning stronger than ever, and full of new, creative ideas!

[FTC Team #9929 @FTC9929]

Can’t fix this during back time back matches :(

[FTC Team #9929 @FTC9929]

We are not paranoid! Let’s just say that we take measures to avoid repeating near disasters?

[FTC Team #9929 @FTC9929]

@opmrj @FTCIllinois @FIRSTweets @IllinoisFIRST @ForcashSusan @opmrj We have something we'd like to send to Vulcan2 in the old-fashioned postal mail. Where should we send it?

[FTC Team #9929 @FTC9929]

@opmrj @FTCIllinois @FIRSTweets @IllinoisFIRST @ForcashSusan We had a great match 29 with Vulcan 2 on Saturday. The autonomous you added right after lunch put us in the lead from the start, and your skilled driving feeding us stones to stack was awesome! It was one of the only matches where we were able to stay on the building side.

[FTC Team #9929 @FTC9929]

Practice like you’ll play (blue field perimeter at state has messed with color sensing and CV before!)

[FTC Team #9929 @FTC9929]

@ftcteam6596 This looks better!

[FTC Team #9929 @FTC9929]

@ftcteam6596 Thanks for the heads up! We didn't get see anyone in our league meets/tournament get called for it :(

We'll take a little velocity off the ejection path.

[FTC Team #9929 @FTC9929]

Our intake, outtakes. W2F-70 can stack like mad, but is also great at delivering stones to other stackers! See you at IL State! #FTCChampsIL #FTCIllinois #Skystone
