@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!

@CCgamin14174098 @AliefISD @OlleMightyOwls @CITGOiaOLLE @AliefTech @REVrobotics @FIRSTinTexas Yes! We’re modifying our flywheel too and adjusting the bed height of the hopper. We’re also going to play with 2 drivers instead of 1

@SWATSquared @AliefISD @OlleMightyOwls @CITGOiaOLLE @AliefTech @REVrobotics @FIRSTinTexas Congrats! Does your FTC team plan on making any adjustments/modifications to the bot by then? My team plans on adding a ground intake to our REV bot as well as an improved flywheel.

@OlleMightyOwls are at our first Robotics competition! The @SWATSquared team is ready to take their first WIN!!! @AliefISD @AliefTech @AliefCTE
