FRC World Championship Recaps and MN State Championship Information

World Championship

NoMythic just returned from the FRC World Championship in Houston, Texas! Even after some bumpy turbulence, we landed in Houston with tons of excitement and enough energy to charge a robot. We spent three days at the championship not only competing with our robot, but also meeting and bonding with other robotics teams from 59 countries around the world! We made friends with students from Mexico, Taiwan, Israel, Germany, and many more places.

We also got to hang out and watch younger students from FIRST Lego League showcase their work! Overall, we had an amazing time. NoMythic was given the magical opportunity to fly across the country and share our love of STEM and robotics with more than 40,000 other people, and we adored every second of it. We came home with beautiful silver medals, proudly sharing the title of division finalists with our alliance partners, 1153 Timberwolves, 2200 BCR Blackout, and 3339 BumbleB. 

We are competing in the last REEFSCAPE competition, the Minnesota state championships. The tournament will be held on May 10th at Gangelhoff Center on the Concordia University campus and this is a one day event! The day begins at 8:00 AM with alliance selections beginning at 3:30 PM. The whole event ends around 6:00 PM!

Thank you to all of our sponsors and supporters who were able to make this possible. Thank you for this amazing opportunity and we look forward to seeing all of you again!

Sincerely, 2491 NoMythic

MinneTrials

Uncategorized

On December 8th, NoMythic went to MinneTrials. This is a competition where our first years get the opportunity to build, program, and then drive the robot they created in the competition. 

This competition was a magical experience and it truly couldn’t have been done without all the people that helped out whether it be by building the robot, programming it, fundraising for it, or just cheering us on. 

During this year’s MinneTrials our robot (cleverly named Volley) performed incredibly well. Starting off in the qualifications we did very well, winning almost every match we participated in, and overall placing 2nd highest in ranking points, while Ultraviolet took first place. Then once qualifications were over we moved on into alliances, and got picked by Ultraviolet. They were really awesome, and everyone I met on their team was so nice. In the end we were the number one alliance, winning the competition. This was such a wonderful experience, as we watched our robots’ magnificent auto, cheered each other on, and overall had an amazing time.
