What a fantastic day in @AliefISD! The Taste of Alief is an amazing way to celebrate all the wonderful things happening in the school district as well as let our students shine brightly! The @OlleMightyOwls did that today. Our LOTC students and our @SWATSquared Robotics team were out in full force. To say I’m proud would be an understatement!

Come out and see us play today! We’ll be joining in on the “organized chaos” at Moorhead Jr High in Conroe, TX. Ready to meet new teams and have fun! 🌟🚀 #FTC #Robotics

We had an awesome time at Youngblood Intermediate’s STEM Night! 🤖✨ Our team loved introducing 5th & 6th graders to robotics and showing them what we do. We hope we inspired some future teammates to join us at Olle! 💡🚀 #WeAreAlief #FTC

@CCgamin14174098 @AliefISD @OlleMightyOwls @CITGOiaOLLE @AliefTech @REVrobotics @FIRSTinTexas And yes, it’ll be 2 controllers! Both can be connected to your driver hub. You can definitely do it still with 1 controller though, just pass it off to the next driver when it’s their move.

@SWATSquared @AliefISD @OlleMightyOwls @CITGOiaOLLE @AliefTech @REVrobotics @FIRSTinTexas How will two drivers work? Like do both have a controller and control the robot? So far on my team we only have one driver that does the controls to the bot.

WE DID IT!!! 🏆 We brought home our first win and had an amazing run with our talented alliance, Storm Masters (FTC18514)! Also, huge shoutout to the Falconers (FTC22853) for taking us under their wing. 🦅 Through ups and downs, we snagged 1 of 5 rounds and were just 3 points away from another — so proud of how far we’ve come. Even better, we learned a ton from other teams and were glad to lend parts and help where we could. 🤝 But the fight’s not over… COMPETITION 2 — JAN 10, 2026. We’re coming BACK! 🦉💥🔥🕹️

We’re going to try out one being the main driver/navigator, and another to shoot goals. We thought it’d be more complicated with 2 drivers, but this should allow drivers to master one thing at a time. A lot of other teams are doing it that way. The key will be to coordinate with each other!
