Even considering the lack of in person events, the entire Change Up season was pretty great. Going independent was awesome, since we had so much freedom throughout the course of the season. Going to out of state tournaments was great, and capping off our final season as a team with our first banner win at a showcase, specifically, is my favorite memory from VRC.
Easy - my favorite memory is the look on my students faces when they see the game reveal at Worlds. Been a while, hoping to be back with another generation of teams.
My favorite memory would have to be the point during last season, about a month before Worlds, where my robot finally worked correctly. At that moment, I knew that no matter what happened, I should be happy because I set out to do something, and through hundreds of hours of hard work and energy drink fueled coding all-nighters, I finally did it.
my favorite memories are also the worst experiences in vex. I think I will go with how I got to worlds and then the schedule was changed I didn’t know that and got dragged out of history class by our co coach. apparently our coach didn’t get the email or something and we almost missed worlds.
“This team excels in many areas and is a shining example of dedication, devotion, hardwork, and teamwork. This team was a strong contender in all of the awards we had today.”
“With the No.1 skills, and No.2 in their ranks, we present the excellence award to team 97963A, the JC Patriots!”
What the heck are you guys doing in robotics? We have a strict ‘No Hospital Trips’ rule, which is really our only rule as far as restrictions go. We’re a bunch of middle and high schoolers who love, or have yet to learn to love, robotics, and the worst thing we do is almost fatally injure ourselves(mostly the freshmen) using the dremel. Don’t ask me why, it’s just something about that dremel.
When we thought we weren’t going to worlds by winning no pre-determined awards at states and we were ready to leave but… we got the design award. Sparked us to continue to today. This was the ringmaster season btw
Driving in a van for 5 hours was really fun(Going to US Open), but My favorite memory is State in general, but the elims, and my state always plays we will rock you, and the final countdown for the last matches.
