We are halfway to our first competition, and lots of progress is being made. Design finished elevator drawings and gave them to the Mechanical subteam. Mechanical was then able to finish and mount the elevator on the drive train. Programming continued all previous work from last week, and scouting helped work on the outreach video. Also, after weeks of drafting, writing and editing, outreach was finally able to successfully submit their Impact Award.
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.

Week 1 and 2 Build Season Update (Prototyping)
2 weeks ago, FIRST released the 2025 FRC game, Reefscape. (If you didn’t see the release video, click HERE)
Since then, our team has been very busy preparing for our first competition in LaCrosse, Wisconsin on March 20-22. We have strategized, prototyped (and re-prototyped), built field elements, updated programming, and designed frames and parts. We’re finalizing prototype ideas to start manufacturing, and we plan on having a functioning robot by February 16th, just in time for us to attend a local scrimmage.
On the other side of the team, Outreach/business has also been very busy working on award submissions and preparing for the Wisconsin FLL State Championship, which is hosted by our team.
9 weeks and counting until Seven Rivers Regional.
Reefscape Kickoff Overview!
On Saturday, FIRST revealed the 2025 FRC game, Reefscape. Our team spent the first half of the day going over safety protocols and other various slideshows. After the game was officially released, We spent the rest of the day talking about strategy, ways to play the game, and how to build our robot. We split up into separate groups, and came back with multiple ideas on how to succeed in this year’s game. We look forward to trying to overcome the challenges in the game!
