Devon vs. Maul (round one) in Maul: Shadow Lord

Been thinking about this line from #MaulShadowLord pretty much nonstop: "Your future was robbed from you, yet you sit idle. You are one of the few Jedi who survived. Now you squander that gift. Refusing your call to fight!”

Huge props to Julia Cooperman for absolutely crushing it with that script.

Volunteered as a judge at the Contra Costa district event this weekend—really enjoyed speaking with teams about the technical aspects of their robots.

Proud of our team for making it to the playoffs as the 7th alliance captain!

Over the weekend, the team competed at the Sacramento District event, where they made it to the playoffs as part of the 7th alliance. As a judge at the event, I enjoyed hearing teams describe both the technical aspects of their robots and the social impact of their teams. 🤖 🦾 ⚙️

A few weeks before our first competition, the drive and dev teams rolled down to the Davis facility for drive practice and autonomous development. 🤖🦾⚙️ #FRCTeam5458 #mentoring

Week 1 of competition season. The dev team started using interpolating tree maps to improve scoring functionality.

Comp Week Zero kicked off at the Citrus Circuits Invitational! Our drive team put this year’s robot, Occipital Lobe, through its paces and got some awesome reps on the field.

We kicked off Week 6 of build season with major progress. The mechanical team finalized enough of the robot for the dev team to set motor IDs, configure the drivetrain, and begin testing the fuel-scoring subsystems. 🤖 🦾 ⚙️

I’ve been jokingly asking for a flamethrower on our comp bot, so one of the students added it to the diagram. 😃
