Introducing YAGSL’s Official Merchandise – Because Nerdy is the New Cool

Hey Chief Delphi!

We, the Bronc Botz, started the Yet Another Gear Swerve Library (YAGSL) with one simple mission: help other FRC teams code a swerve drivetrain and get more robots moving in ways that would make even the most seasoned engineers proud. Fast forward to today, and we’ve reached over 200 teams in more than 10 countries. We’re thrilled to be part of so many teams’ journeys, but we’re not stopping there. We’ve got some exciting news:

YAGSL is officially launching our very own online shop!

Now, in addition to our killer code and swerve knowledge, you can snag some awesome, YAGSL-themed merchandise to rock at competitions, in the pits, or just in the comfort of your own home. Our goal with this new venture is to raise money to continue improving our tools, updating the YAGSL program, and supporting our team’s efforts to help the FRC community grow.

So, what can you expect in the shop?

Well, brace yourselves, because we’re nerding out with some truly unique product names and descriptions that are sure to make you smile. Here are just a few highlights:

Why Buy YAGSL Merch?

When you grab some of our one-of-a-kind gear, you’re not just supporting your own robot journey—you’re also helping the Bronc Botz continue to grow the YAGSL program. With each purchase, we can keep improving our resources, support even more teams, and give back to the FRC community that’s given us so much.

So, why not kick off the new season with a little YAGSL flair? Whether you’re sticking our decals on your robot, staying warm in your hoodie while you code, snuggling under a blanket between matches, optimizing your workspace with a new desk mat, or stepping into a pair of “Closed Toed Coverings,” these items are the perfect blend of function, fandom, and nerdy pride. We hope they make your FRC experience just a little bit more fun!

Check out the full collection at YAGSL Shop, and get ready to sport some of the coolest merch in FRC history.

1. “Adheasives” Stickers

These adhesive devices are perfect for literally anything—your toolbox, laptop, robot, cart, iPad, iPhone, books, that one desk that’s already drowning in WAYYY too many of these, and even your cat (though, fair warning, your cat will probably give you the look and think, “YOU HAVE BETRAYED ME, HUMAN.”)

Anywayyy, these stickers are the finishing touch you never knew you needed. Just one tiny request—please don’t try to use them as a band-aid. It’s not going to end well.

2. “Wearable Passive Warming Device” Hoodie

Cold? Been in the pits too long troubleshooting the robot? We’ve got you covered—literally! This “Wearable Passive Warming Device” (aka hoodie) is perfect for those chilly FRC days when you need a little extra warmth. Whether you’re coding in between matches or just hanging out at your team’s pit, this hoodie will keep you cozy while you work your robot-building magic.

It’s warm, it’s stylish, and it’s as practical as it gets. Plus, it’s perfect for representing your love of robots in the most comfortable way possible.

3. “Large Passive Warming Device” Blanket

When you’re in the pits all day, you need something to keep you warm while you troubleshoot, assemble, and make sure your robot’s ready to go. Our “Large Passive Warming Device” Blanket is just what you need for those long competition days—or nights—when the adrenaline’s wearing off, but you still need that extra layer of warmth.

Perfect for lounging between matches or snuggling up during late-night build sessions, this blanket is as comfy as it is functional.

4. “Programming Floor” Desk Mat

Your desk? It’s basically your command center, so why not make it as functional and stylish as your robot? The “Programming Floor” Desk Mat is here to help you optimize your workspace while keeping it free from scratches, spills, and distractions. Plus, it’s the perfect size to hold your keyboard, mouse, and (of course) snacks for those late-night coding sessions.

When your code is running flawlessly, you can rest easy knowing your desk is just as well-organized as your robot’s drive system.

Get Ready for FRC (and Maybe a Pool Party?) with YAGSL’s New Swimsuit Collection!

Hey Chief Delphi!

We know it’s just Kickoff Day, and you’re probably still reeling from all the new game details, brainstorming strategies, and getting hyped up for the FRC season. But here at Bronc Botz, we’re already thinking ahead—WAY ahead. Sure, it’s only January, but why wait until summer to start prepping for the ultimate “Robot Builders Go Swimming” event?

That’s right, we’ve just launched our exclusive swimsuit collection to make sure you’re ready for competition season and those much-needed pool breaks. You’ve got your robot in the works, your game strategy is locked in, but are you prepared for those moments when the weather gets warm and the pressure’s on?

Introducing: YAGSL’s Swimsuit Collection!

Sure, you’ve got a bunch of meetings to attend, robot parts to order, and design revisions to make—but let’s be honest, there’s no reason you can’t dream of relaxing by the pool while you’re crunching code or debugging. So, while the season is heating up, why not get your hands on some FRC-inspired swimwear? Here’s a sneak peek at our collection:

1. “One Piece”

Are you ready to make waves—not just on the field, but in the pool too? The “One Piece” is your go-to swimsuit for streamlined, stylish comfort. Whether you’re coding between matches or cooling off after a long day in the pit, this one-piece swimsuit combines efficiency with flair.

It’s designed to move with you, so you can take your FRC skills from the pit to the pool, no sweat. Bonus: it’s built to last through those post-competition beach parties, and will give you that extra confidence when you’re strutting by the pool in true robot-builder fashion.

3. “Illegal Footwear, Slim Edition!” Flip Flops

Let’s talk about footwear that breaks the rules—but in the best way possible. Introducing the “Illegal Footwear, Slim Edition!” flip flops. They’re designed for those who aren’t afraid to step outside the traditional FRC footwear guidelines (or maybe you’re just walking back from the pit to grab some snacks).

These flip flops are perfect for laid-back poolside moments or sneaking around the pits between matches. They’re comfortable, easy to wear, and just a little bit cheeky—because who said you can’t break a few rules while still rocking your team spirit?

Plus, if you’re looking to channel your inner rebel at your next FRC competition (or, you know, a beach day), these are the sandals that’ll get you noticed.
