Sent kiddo off to #FRC state competition this morning. I’ll join him on Saturday. His team has qualified for World’s on the past but it’s been a minute. (First robotic competition). I’ll stream the matches when I have a few minutes.

2811 just got picked for Alliance 1 at #PNW #DCMP and I'm losing my mind right now. I have been saying for *months* that we built a fabulous defense bot. Drivers don't want to hear it (they want to score points). Now defense might just punch our ticket to #FRC Worlds.

Playoffs after lunch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3X4yqNg-88

I tell people about the #robotics club at my kids highschool, and I'm sure nobody imagines it like this. #frc behold, the "human player only match" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOnEQpFr5tw

I love the irony of a large team of humans resetting the field after every match for this season's #frc game.

The team has come up with an idea to manage the power consumption in a centralized manner. Each mechanism before doing anything would estimate how much power it's going to need in this iteration and reserve that amount at a central location. The kids now are working out an allocation algorithm that would process such reservation requests and distribute the power fairly according to mechanisms' importance.

Sunset over the Orange River. In 2024, we camped here on the riverbank in a small border village called Onseepkans. The next morning we crossed over into Namibia and headed up to the Fish River Canyon.

Not sure about our overnight plans this year, but we are definitely heading up to the FRC again.

#Brownout is going to be a major issue in the #frc robots this 2026 season for teams will try to overpower their shooter flywheels with hefty Kraken/Falcon motors on top of already power hungry swerve drivetrains.
