Competition Season Week 8 & 9 2024-2025

5/2/2025

 
As we approach the final weeks of the 2025 season and the school year, our team has been diligently preparing for the challenges and opportunities that 2026 will bring. During this time, we've focused on cleaning, organizing, and strategically planning, making the most of our remaining moments together as a team. We must gather all the invaluable knowledge from our graduating seniors, ensuring they feel supported as they embark on their new journeys.
 
This year’s annual robotics banquet was truly special, overflowing with laughter, heartfelt moments, and an abundance of love. For our freshmen, it was a night to cherish, offering a glimpse into the vibrant experiences that lie ahead in their high school careers. Our sophomores and juniors experienced a bittersweet sentiment, as they realized that soon enough, they too would be standing in the spotlight as graduates. For our seniors, this banquet held profound meaning—it was their final celebration as students of Camdenton High School.
 
Some of our mentors and coaches, Mr. Jackson, Mrs. Rohrer, and Reuben Chambers, delivered inspiring speeches that resonated with everyone in the room. They celebrated each team member's contributions while ensuring that our seniors felt our collective appreciation and love. As the evening unfolded, it became clear that while we may soon part ways, the bonds we've forged and the memories we've created will always remain in our hearts.

Season Recap

Competition Season Week 7 2024-2025

4/25/2025

 
​At World’s, our team was part of the Daly division, competing with some of the best-of-the-best, allowing us to be incredibly inspired by their genius. We had a total of 4 wins throughout the entire competition, competing in 10 total qualification rounds. We were not picked to be part of any alliances after qualification matches, and failed to win any awards at this competition. Despite our faults at Worlds this year, we are more than grateful to have been able to even participate in this, often, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Every year that we have had the pleasure of competing here, at Worlds, our team participated in the Daly division, competing against some of the best in the field, which was incredibly inspiring. We secured a total of 4 wins throughout the entire competition, competing in 10 qualification rounds. Unfortunately, we were not selected to be part of any alliances after the qualification matches and did not win any awards at this event. Despite our challenges at Worlds this year, we are immensely grateful for the opportunity to participate in this, often once-in-a-lifetime, experience. Each year that we have competed here, we return home with more knowledge than we came with, and, more importantly, with ten times more motivation. We come back with a renewed drive to grow, achieve, and learn. we have come back home with more information than what we left with, and more importantly, 10x more drive than before. More drive to grow, achieve, and learn.

This isn’t our best year, and it surely will not be our worst. Thank you FIRST for the best Reefscape season ever!

Competition Season Weeks 5 & 6 2024-2025

4/22/2025

 

Robot

Throughout these two weeks there has been a whirlwind of activity as we diligently prepare for the upcoming World's competition. Our team has spent countless hours critiquing and refining the various intricate components of our robot. We’ve made significant adjustments to our end effector, ensuring it operates precisely and efficiently. Additionally, we've integrated new mechanisms, such as a climber, designed to enhance our robot's agility and strategic gameplay. These thoughtful modifications aim to optimize our robot's performance to score critical points on the field. With each enhancement, our anticipation grows, and we eagerly look forward to witnessing the positive results of our efforts in the exciting weeks ahead.

​​Impact + Public Relations

In the last couple of weeks, our team has been busy sharing updates about what we've been up to in the community. One highlight was joining a local KRMS radio show, where we got to talk about the exciting events we have coming up, as well as the work our team does in general. We also made a Sunshine for Seniors delivery, which was a great way to connect with people while showcasing what we’re all about. Making these deliveries is always nice chance for us to show our dedication to innovation and getting involved in the community.

Competition Season Week 4 2024-2025

Robot

This week, we focused on preparing for the Greater Kansas City Regional by addressing challenges from the Colorado Regional and planning changes for Worlds. We also refined our code, especially our autonomous functions.

At the Greater Kansas City Regional, we placed 12th in qualifications and were selected as the first team for the 6th alliance. Although we didn’t make it to the elimination rounds, we had a great time working with Team 2457, The Law, and Team 1825, The Cyborgs.

​​Impact + Public Relations

Over the past week, we've focused on improving our presentation skills and updating our props as we continue through the competition season. Following our success in winning the Impact Award in Colorado, we are eager to ensure confidence in our presentation and expertise.

At GKC, receiving the Judge’s Award is a meaningful recognition of our team's journey. We are deeply thankful for the commitment and spirit of everyone involved. This achievement reflects our growth as individuals and as a cohesive unit. Together, we’ve created something special, and we’re excited for what’s ahead. Thank you all for being vital to this journey!

Throughout this week we have been preparing for the Colorado regional, and thankfully, this work paid off! 

​Our team secured the 6th seed alliance as alliance captain and made it to the semi-finals! In our alliance were teams 2220 Blue Twilight and 2036 Black Knights, who we loved working with!

We poured our hearts into growing and improving after the Central Missouri Regional, and we couldn’t have been prouder of how far we came!

We focused on expanding our outreach and perfecting our presentation, spending countless hours practicing judges’ questions and making sure we knew our material inside and out.

At the Colorado Regional, all that hard work paid off—we won the Impact Award, securing our spot at the World Championship in Houston this April! The excitement was off the charts as our teammates, coaches, mentors, and alumni erupted in cheers, waving homemade 3284 signs, chanting, and shaking pom-poms in celebration!

Robot

Over the past week and a half, we’ve been putting the final touches on our robot and refining our scouting efforts to develop a well-planned strategy for the Central Missouri Regional. With competition just around the corner, we’re focused on ensuring our team is prepared and ready to perform at our best on the field.

​Impact + Public Relations

This week we helped provide STEM and hygiene kits to the students at St. Joseph’s Indian School in South Dakota. These kits support hands-on learning and self-care, reinforcing the resilience and creativity of these young learners. It’s an honor to stand alongside this community, celebrating their strengths and future achievements.

We have also been preparing for the upcoming Central Missouri Regional--practicing our presentation, and perfecting our prop.

We have also been preparing for STEM Day at the Capitol by studying the upcoming STEM laws that will affect Missouri.
