The Winter Soldiers

INSPIRE 2nd place, Control Award, and Division Finalist Captain with @FTC14172 and 13186 at the @ftc_iowa State Championship! We will be competing once again at the FTC World Championship in Houston! #morethanrobots #JDInspire #POWERPLAY

We were recently hosted by @FirstUpdatesNow on Behind the Bot, where we gave a detailed explanation of our robot and design process. Check it out! youtube.com/watch?v=X571LO…

Despite a narrow loss in the semifinals with @7400shmizmin and @FTC_8696, we won the Design Award and advanced to the @ftc_iowa State Championship!

Practicing with our friends @FTC_8696 @NSRobotics6603 @Robo_Minions_2 to prepare for super qualifiers! @ftc_iowa #POWERPLAY #omgrobots

CAD models for all of our competition robots from Freight Frenzy and some of our off-season projects are now publicly available on our website! ftc8813.com/resources.html #omgrobots @ftc_iowa @Onshape

We won the INSPIRE award at the @ftc_iowa State Championship and will be competing at the World Championship in Houston! Thanks to all of our mentors, parents, and sponsors who made this possible!

We're raising funds to provide 12 @REVrobotics Control and Expansion hubs to 12 new @FTCTeams in Burundi. These will empower up to 180 students in Burundi to compete in FIRST. Any donation makes a difference. Spread the word! gofundme.com/f/help-develop…

Our new robot is ready to compete at our 5th league meet tomorrow! @ftc_iowa #omgrobots

After our 3rd league meet, we are ranked 1st in Iowa, 5th in the world overall, and 1st in the world by tele-op scores.

NEW! Handy dandy video instructions to help guide teams thru the team creation steps, ordering reg & product, including sales tax, YPP Screening steps, & inviting additional contacts. Please share this with anyone that's working on creating a team! firstinspires.org/resource-libra…

Our condolences go to @FTC14423, @7244OutoftheBox, and any other teams who suffered property damage at the hands of Hurricane Ida. If there's anything we can do to help please send us a message. From our experience you can dry out field tiles without any issues.

Thanks to @ftc16537 for hosting a fantastic CAD challenge and giving some of our new members an amazing opportunity to practice CAD before the season!

Good luck & experiences to you and all of the @ftc_iowa teams competing today! #JDInspire

Designed a constant-force flexible 3D printed shooter wall and lightweight mounting bracket using @nTopology software—now our shooter can launch rings of varying stiffness at the same distance! #additivemanufacturing #omgrobots @FTCTeams @ftc_iowa

Congratulations @PatrickOBarnes and thank you for all of the support you've given our team over the years!

Gameplay Pro Tip: The return rack is designed to introduce rings randomly back onto the playing field. Teams should not expect to see the rings returned in the same area of the playing field each time and should account for this when working through gameplay strategies.

@FTCTeams This is the robot we competed with at League Qualifiers. We'll be sharing some of the updates we've made since on YouTube after Super Qualifiers (early April). #omgrobots @ftc_iowa

Show us your bots! We'd love to see your #ULTIMATEGOAL robot design for this season!

Congratulations to our friends 12863 @FlourishAndBots for winning Inspire Award at the DeWitt League Qualifier today! #omgrobots @ftc_iowa

Designed a robot in 9 days for Caravan CAD Challenge using @PTC_Creo and @Blender and took home 4th place and the Functionality Award! Thanks to teams 6964, 6832, and 3658 for hosting the event! youtu.be/naHGmdDK5a4

Dozer is excited and ready for our #ULTIMATEGOAL season!
