So much is getting done! Right now Kelli, Sam, and Lex are working on bumpers (pictures 1 + 2); Ethan and Zo are milling pieces for the robot (pic 3); Nick and Emilio are working on the chassis (pic 4); Robert, Sean, and Brad are working on pneumatics (pic 5); Wesley, Lando, Connor, Anna, Elizabeth, Henry, Lukas, and Mark are all working on electronics (pic 6); and, last but not least, Alex and Noah are CADing (pic 7). Good work, teams!
PowerUp is about power cubes, or milk crates. Who wants to shoot milk crates? Apparently – us!
FIRST PowerUp is all about strategy. A retro video game collided with FIRST game developers, and came up with a crazy complicated game. We love it.
The first step was a bunch of quiet reading time to learn the rules.
Then small groups to figure out what those rules mean. How can we score points? Is there a way to guarantee a win? 
Students from all nine Mythical Robotics teams gathered to celebrate their good work. The six lego league teams are now done for their year. The two FTC teams have one final competition left. The FRC team is just getting started – the challenge comes out on January 6th. Good work all!
Our old practice space at Great River recently went under construction, so we moved to a new space in Avalon so we could work in a less busy and more appropriate space. This move has been a simple and seamless transition, and we are excited to see how our team progresses in this space.
