Worlds 2025 was AMAZING!

We had a major Limelight failure Wednesday afternoon in our very first match resulting in a loss and being kicked down to 62nd place.

Thursday and Friday we staged a major comeback, including winning an epic 1 v 2 when our partners didn't show and breaking the OS+GM personal record with a 468, that ended with us ranked #4 Alliance Captain! was an obvious first pick for their strong sample auto and tele and strategy that complemented our robot in every way. For second pick, we went with for their super robust all aluminum design, shockingly fast tele cycle time, and L3.

Saturday we locked in and earned a new OS+GM record of 524... 479 without penalties. We racked up multiple 400s over the course of five matches, only losing to Up A Creek...the eventual overall world champions.

At the end of the day we were crowned Ochoa Finalist Alliance Captain and 2nd place Control Award!!

But it's not just about robots. We met so many amazing teams and people. 🧡

We would like to thank everyone that came out to support us! , Universal Transformers 9, Ms. Segrest of the , and the LANG GANG... , , , and Decyphered.

Thank you Moment Makers for sharing so much information with us beforehand. Eduardo will be your human player any day!

Thank you for the good luck sign and being the absolutely most fun team to ever exist. But we need more turtle necklaces, because we're all super jealous of Eduardo and his turtle necklace.

We should probably update FB more.. 😬 But since our last post we have ranked twice in the FTC Top 25 and are currently ranked #1 in Texas and #5 in the world. We're 1/3 of the way through a hectic triple header with our League Championship on February 1 and Regional Championship on February 15. It's intense and right now our local league is the most competitive in the state. 😅
