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.
