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!
For the first time, No Mythic traveled to Duluth to the summer Gitchi Gummi Get Together. This 1 1/2 day mini-regional is hosted by the Duluth East Daredevils, and features more matches and more networking time than most mini-regionals. Our team co-scouted with the Robettes, which was a huge success. One highlight of the event this year was the mentor match. Watch mentors try to control the robots and move gears below.
University of Minnesota’s Triangle fraternity is sponsoring No Mythic for at least the third year in a row. Fraternity members came out Sunday to see the robot drive, pick up gears, and climb. They asked great questions about the drive train, CAD, batteries, 3-D printed parts, and more. Thank you Triangle!
