The 2022-2023 robotics year has been a great first year experience. We spent hours
designing and building components to use on the final robot. Every rookie vex robotics
member was able to contribute and work towards a working machine. From
brainstorming ideas to designing and building our robot, competing in intense
tournaments, and fostering a strong sense of camaraderie, our season has been
nothing short of extraordinary.
We have five team members. Our team is full of talented and passionate students from
Valley Christian High School. Our experienced members provide valuable insight to the
learning ones. We have created a supportive and inclusive environment that nurtures
creativity, critical thinking, and teamwork.
This season, our team faced an exhilarating challenge presented by the competition
theme: Spin-up. Through extensive brainstorming and prototyping, we developed
numerous robot designs that showcased our technical expertise and problem-solving
skills. We routinely work together on Sunday afternoons, and most of Friday after
school. We not only built up the robot, but also worked on programming the
autonomous code to be consistent in every aspect.
We participated in various tournaments and competitions throughout the season,
testing our skills against other opponents. It was vital to scout teams and make friends
in order to choose and partner with a strong alliance. The season was filled with intense
matches, where we demonstrated our robot's capabilities and strategic maneuvers.
Through resilience, adaptability, and quick thinking, we achieved notable victories and
learned valuable lessons from our defeats. We won two championships in regional
tournaments, and we were qualified to advance the state championship tournament.
Although we didn’t make the World championship, we definitely set this as our next
season’s target.
As we reflect on the remarkable journey of our REV Robotics Team this season, we
express our deepest gratitude to our mentors, parents, and Creative Learning
Foundation who played an integral role in our success. Their guidance, encouragement,
and belief in our abilities have been instrumental in our growth as individuals and as a
team. We eagerly look forward to future challenges and opportunities that lie ahead,
ready to embark on new adventures in the realm of robotics.
