We competed at our first offseason event over the weekend at Socal Showdown! We played well in qualifications, and were picked by 2nd alliance with 599 Robodox, 4322 Clockwork, and 4470 TiGears. Thank you to our mentors and students who dedicated their time to competing in this event. We're looking forward to our next competition at Stay Classy Classic!

Our team has been hard at work over the past few weeks preparing for the offseason, redesigning our robot and optimizing our code! We are looking forward to competing at SoCal Showdown (10/10-12), Stay Classy Classic (10/25-26) and Beach Blitz (10/31-11/2)!

As the season comes to a close, our team gathered to celebrate a year of growth, innovation, and teamwork—joined by parents, alumni, and even some of our founding members. It was a special moment that reminded us how strong and lasting this community truly is.

From intense competitions to long nights in the shop, this journey wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our Sponsors, Alumni, Mentors, and Parents. Thank you for believing in us.

We also celebrated our amazing graduating seniors, leaders who’ve left their mark and inspired those who follow. As they take the next step, they’ll always be part of our story.

With the offseason ahead, we’re excited to keep building, learning, and pushing ourselves to new heights.

Thank you for being part of this journey. The best is yet to come!

That’s a wrap on Champs 2025!

We are so incredibly grateful for the unforgettable experience of competing at the FIRST World Championships. Thank you to our amazing alliance partners Inverse Paradox (FRC Team 1325), Team Tators (FRC Team 2122), and Wave Robotics (FRC Team 2826) who got us into playoffs — we had an absolute blast playing with you and hope to work together again in the future!

We also had the best time cheering with Freeland Fabricators (FRC Team 5166) and loved seeing you hold up our numbers — our whole team is hoping we get to cheer with you again soon!

One of the coolest experiences from the event was getting to do a flag trade with Mech Rams (FRC Team 9301) ! It was such a special way to celebrate how FIRST brings teams from all over the world together. Thank you Mechrams for making that happen!

And — for the first time in our team’s history — we brought home an award at Worlds!!! We are honored to have received the Team Spirit Award, recognizing our extraordinary enthusiasm, teamwork, and commitment to the mission of FIRST. This award reflects the countless hours our students and mentors have poured into this season — on competition days, off days, and every moment in between. We couldn’t be more proud!

We’re looking forward to some well-deserved rest and getting ready for the offseason. Thank you to everyone who cheered us on along the way — this is just the beginning!

GO ROBOT DOLPHINS!!!!!
