🌸 This past weekend, the team was able to attend UPS’s Girls in STEM Day event where we were able to talk to the girls about what we do as an FTC team, how FTC works, and what it means to be on the team! Towards the end of the event, our two co-captains were able to speak about their experience with FTC and how it serves as an excellent learning experience. 🌸🌸🌸

States ✅

Sorry for the incredibly late post! Although we didn’t win anything this year, state championships was still overall a pretty awesome day. Our robot, Icarus, performed well in competition with some very impressive bots, and the team had a great day. We had so much fun meeting new people and teams (post with those pictures coming soon), and our ducks were a huge hit. As this was the close of our competition season, we want to take a second to thank our incredible coaches, Coach Dave and Coach Ek, as well as all of our mentors. We can’t wait to see everyone next fall for the 2026/2027 season!

League Tournament ✅
Yesterday was an absolute whirlwind of a day, and was one of, if not the best competitions we’ve ever had. We entered the meet ranked 3rd, and despite our rank fluctuating throughout the day we were still selected by to be their alliance partner. That alliance proved to be one of the best decisions either team made that day, as we came away the winning alliance and were undefeated throughout playoffs. Along with this insane win we also received the control award for the first time.

We want to thank the Bayonne FTC teams, and all of the volunteers who made this event possible. We also want to thank Coach Dave and Coach Ek, along with all of our mentors for making us the team we are today. Next stop: States!! We’ll see y’all on March 15!!!
