Had our end-of-the-season banquet earlier today! It was great to gather and reminisce about all the memories from the season while enjoying a delicious meal provided by wonderful parents.
We even held our own little award ceremony, where we recognized different students for each of the FIRST values (plus an extra award named after our head mentor). The winners are:
• Drake Cross - Discovery Award
• Luke Oyler - Innovation Award
• Santiago Quiros-Gonzales - Impact Award
• Tony Fernandez - Inclusion Award
• Nathan Thomas - Teamwork Award
• Jacob Brilliant - Fun Award
• Maggie Webb - Rookie of the Year Award
• Bennett Carpenter - The Mundell Award
Congratulations to all these hardworking students! Let’s see what the next season has in store for us 👀
That’s a wrap on our 2026 season! This year has been unforgettable 🦾
We went undefeated in qualifiers and were eliminated in the lower bracket at Milstein. However, this event taught us a lot and pushed us to standards that we don’t experience elsewhere. Being there was already an honor, and it was all thanks to our mentors, supporters, and sponsors.
We couldn’t have gotten this far without them, so a huge shoutout to @the_thrifty_bot , @frctees , @citizensenergygroup , Dynamark, Colors, Inc., Mundell, and Indiana Custom Embroidery. Reaching this milestone wouldn’t have been possible without our alliance partners: 2122 Team Tators, 4907 Thunderstamps, and last but not least, 7764 Carrobotics. Experiencing Champs with you was wonderful 🖤💛
Day 2 was a success! Ranked first and undefeated in quals. Bring on tomorrow's alliance selection!

Day one done and we’re crushing it! Ranked 4th in our division, but we’re aiming for the top! Tone in today and see if we can keep the momentum going 🦾

Three-time Indiana state champions 🏆🏆🏆
Somehow, we keep finding ways to get it done. Three straight titles don't happen by accident. It’s late nights, quick problem-solving, trusting each other, and showing up for every single match. This also wouldn't have been possible without our alliance partners @team4272 & @redalert1741 who were there with us every step of the way
We were also honored to receive our 9th autonomus award, and a thoughtful “Best Driving Award” from @gcgoldengears 🙌
Next stop: Houston. The countdown begins. Let’s see what we can do on the big stage April 29 - May 2!
suPURDUEper is heading to Indiana State Championship! 🦾🤖
We’re starting to raise funds now so we are ready if we make it to Champs. This opportunity would let us compete at the highest level and represent our community on a bigger stage.
Travel, lodging, meals, and competition costs add up quickly, and preparing early makes all the difference. Every donation helps us stay ready to take that next big step.
Thank you for supporting our team and being part of our journey! Check the link linked to our account to donate 🙌

Day 2 at the Lafayette District event and we’re leaving with our second win of the season! 🦾
After being finalists at Mishawaka and going undefeated at Columbus, we kept things going with another undefeated run this weekend. We were proud to take the win alongside Teams @1501thrust and @bd.robotics ! We couldn’t gave asked for better partners 💛🖤
This event was full of big moments for us. We earned the Autonomous Award, broke our own state high score four times at Lafayette (six times counting Columbus), and pushed it all the way up to 608. We also had the chance to film for Behind the Bumpers, which was a really cool experience for the team.
We’re proud of how consistent this robot and team have been, especially coming off Columbus, and we’re excited to keep it going.
And of course, congratulations to all the teams who qualified for State! We’ll see you there 👀

Day one was a fantastic start! We encountered only minor inconveniences, enjoyed a fun time during qualifications, and gathered as much accurate data as possible thanks to our dear scouters. We have even surpassed the state’s highest score, along with @1501thrust and @team4485 ! We are so proud of this achievement and send our best wishes to all the other teams at this wonderful event. We can't wait to see what tomorrow brings! 👀
