Match the team number with the team name :)
971 created a matching game that cycles through about 40 FRC teams/numbers.
Enjoy!

Lab organization? What?
We were done with the CAD, but apparently there’s this thing about the sheet metal having to obey physics, or something ridiculous like that.
psh.
obeying physics is for squares.
and mobius strips.
a little build season story.
so today we had a label maker and decided it would be cool to name the electronics after ourselves.
but then we realized that if anything ever broke it’d be “the teresa blew up again!” and “the scott is malfunctioning!”
and then we stopped naming parts of the robot after ourselves.
the PD board is labeled ROY tho. But he’s a mentor so no one can yell if he breaks.
week three of build season, it’s starting to get busy & stressful
but at least we’re not on Hitler’s FRC team!
ATTENTION ALL OF FRC: Watch this genius.
Just got back from the lab!
(There are still people there, by the way.)
And we would like to have a shout out for our wonderful mentor Roy who took us to get ice cream. And yes, we did realize that the ice cream was a whole 14 degrees colder than the outside air temperature. But we ate it anyway.
Anyone else pulled their first twelve hour shift yet?
