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

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...

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

[Andrew Bates]

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

[Alex Cormier]

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?

[smartkid]

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.
