Welcome!

We are a group of high school students and adult volunteers that learn, explore, and celebrate science and technology. Through the international organization FIRST, For Inspiration and Recognition in Science and Technology, we build a robot to compete each year. We experience excitement of the challenge, create life-long relationships, and have fun. But we do much more than that. Through collaboration and leadership from students and mentors, ours students develop work ethic, professionalism, and pride.

Our team encourages younger students to experience the same excitement of engineering through programs like FLL and VEX. The Waukesha VEX League Competition and League Nights are hosted by our team. Along with VEX, we also hold FLL competitions and encourage members to mentor FLL teams. In both of these venues, and in many others, we display our robot and enlighten them about FRC. Through this, we excite, inspire and celebrate engineering.

2023-2024 FIRST Impact Award Video

Well, we have good news and bad news. The good news is that we finished our Impact Video today! But unfortunately, we misunderstood the requirements on how to submit our video, so our video will not be played at competition if we win. Either way, you can go watch the video here!

Week 5 Season Update (Our Robot is Built!)

Huge news! We officially have a completely built robot! The mechanical sub-team has been working super hard since we got the drawings last Saturday afternoon, and their hard work has paid off. Programming is now coding the robot!

On the outreach side, we have submitted the Woodie Flowers Award and our Executive Summaries. Our Impact essay is being worked on, and will be submitted tonight.

As usual, we are all super excited for the Northern Lights Regional, which is only 2 weeks away! Can’t wait to see you all there!

Week 4 Build Season Update

It is week 4 of the build season, and we are getting closer and closer to our first competition in Duluth! Since our last update 2 weeks ago, we have gotten numerous things checked off our “to-do” list. We officially have CAD drawings for our shooter mechanism, and have begun building our robot! Scouting has been programming a scouting database app, where we can upload and analyze match data and results. Programming worked on April Tag tracking, and got it so our robot can orient itself to face the tag. From a business perspective, they are working on award submissions and gathering Impact data.

We are all super excited for Northern Lights!

Week Two of the Crescendo Build Season!

This week, our team began prototyping and building the playing field. Even two snow storms couldn’t stop us from (safely) coming to meetings and getting work done. The playing field is mostly made of wood and is used to practice and test the robot. Several members of the team are working on prototypes for the the main piece manipulator. Both prototypes use wheels to pickup and shoot the new ring game piece.
