Team Daedalus’ AVR 2026 season is off to a great start, and we are excited to announce our first sponsor of the season: Marconi Edison! (https://www.marconiedison.com/) Their generous support is helping us kick off another year of designing, building, and preparing for this year's competition.
We are incredibly grateful to Marconi Edison for securing our Titanium sponsorship package and for investing in our team and STEM education. Their support will play an important role in helping us achieve our goals this season.
With our Titanium sponsorship package now filled, we are still looking for additional sponsors at our other sponsorship levels. If you are interested in partnering with Team Daedalus, please visit our website to learn more about our sponsorship opportunities and how you can support the team.
Thank you again to Marconi Edison for being the first to support our 2026 season. We look forward to an exciting year ahead and can't wait to share our progress along the way!

AVR 2026 has finally kicked off! We are welcoming new members and we just started to get going with early brainstorming and setting standards and guidelines for this year’s season. The team has split up to work on getting ahead with prototyping possible attachments that could be used for this year’s competition. The team has also worked on the DEXI SIM challenge for a few weeks and has been able to place on the leaderboard. We are currently on the hunt for sponsors, so if you can help or want more information please let us know- [email protected]. Overall, this season has gotten off to a great start and we are looking forward to an exciting season ahead.

Hi Everyone!

We’re excited to announce that at Championships this past weekend, we earned fourth place out of fourteen teams (over sixty competed in total)! We also received the Best Overall Design Award, for our hardware and software designs’ excellence in uniqueness, reliability, functionality, and innovation. For more details on scoring, check out the AVR website (https://www.theavr.org/2025-season-standings).

We’re proud of the work we’ve done this season, and excited to return for 2026! Although the next game won’t be announced until the summer, we’re going to spend winter and spring training members and learning new skills, so expect to hear from us periodically.

Thanks to everyone who’s supported us—sponsors, family, friends, teachers, and anyone who’s ever offered words of encouragement! It’s been a great year.

With less than two weeks until Championships, we are finalizing the revised attachment design for our Sphero RVR ground vehicle, which is built to sort and transport colored blocks that represent litter on the beach, and polishing the DEXI drone’s AI image scanner.

Next week, we will do our final testing, revise our engineering notebook, and get ready to pack!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

We are back from Texas, but not for long! After our victory last weekend, we will be moving on to Championships on December 5th, which is in three and a half weeks.

On Saturday, we placed second with 438 points and earned the Exemplary Team award. Both competition days were amazing opportunities to learn engineering skills and collaboration while putting our hard work to the test.

During these next three weeks, we will be working hard to make improvements based on what we learned in real competition, so we can show up at Championships with our best!

After our first day of competition in Austin, we are thrilled to announce that we are moving on to Championships! We won first place with 392 points, and also earned the Presentation award.

After celebrating with barbecue (we are in Texas, after all), we headed back to our hotel to discuss and adjust our vehicles based on what we learned. Tomorrow, we’ll mix things up a bit and give our newer members a chance to take on larger roles.

We had so much fun today! It’s great to see all the other teams’ different solutions, and to put ours to the test.

Look out for updates tomorrow, and enjoy a photo of our awards!
