MechaWatt goes for a Spin during Cars and Coffee!
We had a lot of fun reintroducing MechaWatt to the community. During a competition at NRG Stadium many years ago, this robot threw a football 67 yards.
Texas Torque Donates to Texas Children’s Hospital
These donations were received from the many teams attending The Remix this past September. The Lego kits go to kids staying in the hospital multiple days. Thanks to everyone’s generosity, they have something to build and play with.
The REMIX is Here!
This Saturday the 23rd (3–7 PM) and Sunday (8:30 AM–4 PM) at College Park, the Remix will be a Robotics competition where robots will fiercely compete to balance and construct links consisting of cones and cubes. Spectators will also be able to participate in tours of the both lab and the pit area, so be sure to come and enjoy the spectacle regardless of what team you’re on.
The Remix is Coming!!!
Saturday, September 23, and Sunday, September 24.
Texas Torque Donates to Angel Reach!
Today, members from Texas Torque delivered over thirty bedding sets to Angel Reach, a non-profit organization that provides support to young adults who have aged out of the foster care system. These bedding sets were donated by several generous FRC teams who attended the 2022 Remix we hosted alongside FRC 7492 CavBots on September 24, 2022.
Thank you for your gracious contributions, and we look forward to additional outreach projects going into the future!
The Return of The Remix
After a two year hiatus, The Remix was hosted on Saturday, September 24, by FRC Teams 1477 Texas Torque and 7492 CavBots. Thirty-two teams from Texas and Louisiana replayed last season’s Rapid React with one notable difference; the top eight teams were not allowed to choose each other as alliance partners. This simple change makes it more difficult for a couple of good teams to team up and the alliances are more balanced.
The finalists in this year’s event were teams 118 Robonauts, 2848 Rangers, 7492 CavBots, and 7418 Channelview TechnoFalcons. The alliance struggled in the finals when 7492 had to replace a swerve module.
This year’s winners were the #1 Seeded Alliance of Teams 624 CRyptonite, 3847 Spectrum, 4587 Jersey Voltage, and 7691 TSA All-Stars.
The goal of The Remix is to provide teams with an opportunity to compete with their new drive teams. It also allows new team members to experience the excitement of a FRC event.
Several charities benefit from The Remix. The Montgomery County Women’s Center will be receiving a cash donation from the money left after expenses for the event are paid. Forty Lego sets were donated for Children in local hospitals along with a dozen bed sets for Angel Reach, a non-profit that supports former foster children.
