Congrats everybody!

Re: Grant Imahara VEXplorer Robot Challenge
 

Thanks and Good luck to the others!

Re: Grant Imahara VEXplorer Robot Challenge
 

Very nice, good luck to all the contestants! But with that said, it is a competition :D

I'm currently in 4 robotics competitions right now, FIRST FRC Nationals, FIRST FTC nationals, Vex World Championship and now this. Robotics has consumed my life, so awesome... :)

Re: Grant Imahara VEXplorer Robot Challenge
 

One of our students was selected out of the top 25!

Re: Grant Imahara VEXplorer Robot Challenge
 

I got accepted! I screamed and cried when I did, I wanted so much to get this :3

Re: Grant Imahara VEXplorer Robot Challenge
 

wow such a good turn out so far considering there were only 25 spots

Alex Cormier
Cody Smith-2023
2 people from 448
Ryan Green - 957
1 person from 839
Rida - 2590


so we have a quarter of the entries and I am sure not all of the FIRSTers have checked in yet.

Re: Grant Imahara VEXplorer Robot Challenge
 

Congratulations to all those who entered and the final 25.

Ches (IbleedPink233) and I were selected as one of the top 25. We can't wait to get started on our robot!

Re: Grant Imahara VEXplorer Robot Challenge
 

Technically the kids from FRC 448 kids were from FTC 38 and 37.

Re: Grant Imahara VEXplorer Robot Challenge
 

Well it actually looks more like this:


Alex Cormier & Liz Smith
Cody Smith-2023
1 person from FTC38
1 person from FTC37
Ryan Green - 957
1 person from 839
Rida - 2590
notapinktruck & ibleedpink233 - 233

It's starting to shape up!

That's already 8 out of 25. If you actually think of it, I say we had a greater chance of being selected then the ordinary public because we have experience and more complex ideas which they were looking for.

All I know is we are excited and ready to build!

Wow, three kids from Brevard county, Florida. I've got to say that Piratech, Exploding Bacon and Pink team have been doing extremely well this year for Florida.

Piratech team 508 was on the winning alliance for the Florida FTC regionals.
Piratech team 509 with Exploding Bacon placed 6th, Piratech won the Amaze award and Bacon took the Innovate award.

At the FRC regionals at UCF Pink won, Bacon gave them one heck of a run for there money and Piratech won the Website award. I believe that pink also went to Hawaii and won the regional there too.

Good stuff... :)

Did anyone get the kitbox yet?

Re: Grant Imahara VEXplorer Robot Challenge
 

I haven't, but I'm hoping to get it today. I've already ordered my $100 in parts and have a UPS tracking number for those, should get to me by the 9th.
