2023–2024 Season

We headed into this season with a new member and a determination: to prove what we were capable of. Driven by a pursuit of excellence, we spent countless hours outside of regular meetings testing and modifying our robot attachments until they were just right.

For our Innovation Project, we voted to build a low cost Refreshable Braille Display Board using small motors. We got the inspiration from 3D printers. We wanted to help people with vision impairments access more reading materials at an affordable price. In the process, we dove deep into the world of motors, controls, and even learned how to operate a CNC machine to craft our wooden prototype.

There was nothing like the joy of finally seeing our Braille board display the words and graphs we had designed it for! This project was so inspiring that it sparked a lasting interest in robotics for many of us. In fact, five of our nine teammates went on to join FTC and FRC after this season to continue their robotics journey.

We learned from last season's mistake and made sure to communicate clearly with the referees this time. Our hard work paid off as we dominated the competition, winning Championship and 1st Place of Robot Performance at Regionals, Super Regionals, and advancing all the way to State.

At State, we took home 2nd Place Championship Award and were proud to represent Georgia at the American Robotics Invitational. Looking back, we didn’t just overcome last year's setback—we grew stronger because of it!.
