For once I am a bit ahead of schedule, but that’s just cuz the art had to be done for production in advance of Champs. So here it is, one last (yeah, sure it is) image of Team 5199’s 2023 robot Trident, just in time for FRC Championships in Houston. Thanks again to all of our great alliance partners this season. . Anyone surprised by the supercharge update and rule changes? I gotta say I’m excited to see how this all plays out. Shout out to all the FRC teams headed to Houston. I’m giving away robot stickers to those who take my FRC ”This or That’ quiz - no wrong answers, just free swag. I’ll be in my dolphin beanie wandering the pits. Come find me. I’m looking forward to meeting you all and seeing what you can do on the field. . . . #frc #frcmemes #firstroboticscompetition #firstrobotics @firstroboticscalifornia @first_official_ #omgrobots @robotdolphins #stemeducation #womeninstem #robotics #graciousprofessionalism @firstupdatesnow @firstlarobotics @frc3476 @cyberporpoises #bagday #frcenergize #frcchargedup #chargedup #firstenergize #firstchargedup #energized #frc2023 #bluealliance #redalliance #firstinspires #edroth #bigdaddyroth #hotrod #californiacustoms @nerdherd687 @cobra_robotics @teamparadise.1165 @phoenix_robotics @frc702 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cq7y2uNrUhS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Robot afficionados - It’s bag day! (well a little after but who’s counting?) At this point I’m talkin’ to FRC alums and vets. I miss bag day. I loved the clock countdown. The bag and tag. The time stamped picture, and the unwarranted relief of being ‘concluded’. But bag day is a thing of the past, sigh. So, to celebrate (belated) bag day, here is this weeks post. My annual Field Element Boss. This years game has robots trying to fill a series of posts and platforms with cones and inflated cubes respectively. Swipe to see the official field element that this years ‘Boss’ was based upon. Swipe to the end to see what I’m guessing robot interactions with the inflated cube game piece will be. . For any FRC team members that randomly land on this page, please stop and say hi. I look forward to seeing everyone one on the field in a couple of weeks. Let’s go . . . #frc #frcmemes #firstroboticscompetition #firstrobotics @firstroboticscalifornia @first_official_ #omgrobots @robotdolphins #stemeducation #womeninstem #robotics #graciousprofessionalism @firstupdatesnow @firstlarobotics @frc3476 @cyberporpoises #bagday #frcenergize #frcchargedup #chargedup #firstenergize #firstchargedup #energized #frc2023 #bluealliance #redalliance #firstinspires @beach_blitz https://www.instagram.com/p/Co93FbLr_2S/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Congrats on a great season so far, team 5199.. I’m super .proud of this team. We know how hard it is to win a regional. No matter how much skill and how great your robot is, competition is never completely in your control. 2 back to back wins in 3 weeks means we had the right team, with right solution on the right weekends, with the right alliance partners. Thanks to all the teams we allied with and played against. It was an honor to be amongst you. And to those headed to Houston, Congratulations and we are looking forward to meeting you there… now get back to work! . . . #frc #frcmemes #firstroboticscompetition #firstrobotics @firstroboticscalifornia @first_official_ #omgrobots @robotdolphins #stemeducation #womeninstem #robotics #graciousprofessionalism @firstupdatesnow @firstlarobotics @frc3476 @cyberporpoises #bagday #frcenergize #frcchargedup #chargedup #firstenergize #firstchargedup #energized #frc2023 #bluealliance #redalliance #firstinspires @nerdherd687 @phoenix._robotics @frc702 @frcteam498 @teamparadise.1165 https://www.instagram.com/p/CqX4phYL_9O/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is it. Week 2 of FRC competition. So many surprises watching week 1 competition. Congrats to everyone who made it onto the field. For @robotdolphins it’s go time. This week we’re at our home event, the Orange County Regional here in California. The team has been working hard (I wouldn’t say tirelessly because some have been sleeping on our field - you know who you are) to prepare for our back to back to back events for the next 3 weeks. Regardless, I am proud of the efforts that went into this years rig. And since we haven’t released any reveal material, you get this years annual bot drawing as a teaser. Stay tuned to the official team IG account for real pix. BTW free robot stickers for those who find me and take my FRC poll at any of the events - find the dolphin beanie . . . #frc #frcmemes #firstroboticscompetition #firstrobotics @firstroboticscalifornia @first_official_ #omgrobots @robotdolphins #stemeducation #womeninstem #robotics #graciousprofessionalism @firstupdatesnow @firstlarobotics @frc3476 @cyberporpoises #bagday #frcenergize #frcchargedup #chargedup #firstenergize #firstchargedup #energized #frc2023 #bluealliance #redalliance #firstinspires @beach_blitz #bigdaddyroth #edroth #californiacustoms #hotrod https://www.instagram.com/p/Cph6iI3LT7-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s the final countdown 🎤Week 1 of competition starts now!!! Ready or not it’s happening. Good luck to all the teams competing this year. Next week @robotdolphins reveals our rig for the season. We’re pretty excited, but you never know what’s going to happen once real competition starts. We’ve got one more seek to dial in before the Orange County regional. Looking back on past robotics post, I realize l never created an operator badge to complete my series. Cameras, limelight, intake, telescope, pneumatics, I tried to include mechanisms suitable for an FRC challenge. Can’t wait to see what you all come up with. . . . #frc #frcmemes #firstrobotics #firstroboticscompetition @first_official_ @firstroboticscalifornia @firstupdatesnow @firstlarobotics #omgrobots #stemeducation #womeninstem #robotics #graciousprofessionalism #bluealliance #redalliance #frc2023 #firstchargedup #firstenergize #firstinspires @beach_blitz @frc3476 #finalcountdown #itsthefinalcountdown https://www.instagram.com/p/CpP5N8aLE7s/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Well, off-season robot building is in full swing. The team is in the midst of converting last seasons west coast tank drive for swerve modules and we are eager to see how it performs. As always we’re chasing the schedule, but everyone is optimistic. This week to help get in the mood I wanted to do something manga / kaiju inspired for the team. Let’s go team 5199!!! . . . #manga #anime #frc #firstrobotics #firstroboticscompetition @robotdolphins #kaiju #robot #omgrobots @first_official_ @firstroboticscalifornia @beach_blitz #characterdesign #characterart #characterillustration #rapidreact #frc2022 #stemeducation #steameducation #graciousprofessionalism #cooperatition #roboticscompetition #firstroboticscalifornia #japanimation #frcrapidreact #frcmemes https://www.instagram.com/p/CiNL_tJLAsH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This may look familiar, but it’s been 3 weeks since @robotdolphins last competition, so we’ve upgraded AND so has the illustration. No rest for the weary. Striving to get better, to do better and to be better, this team has continued to iterate on the original design. We’re headed to Aerospace Valley for our last regional competition. We’re hoping to step it up a notch and get a win, but there are so many factors that are not in your control. With that said the team has been trying to optimize all phases of the game. Wish us luck. Or better yet, if you are in the Lancaster CA area, come root us on. It’s free and open to the public. Let’s go 5199!!! . . . #frc #firstinspires #firstroboticscompetition #robot #robotics #robotchallenge @firstroboticscalifornia @first_official_ #rapidreact #frc2022 #frc2022rapidreact #stemeducation #characterdesign #characterart #characterillustration #graciousprofessionalism #mechatronics #firstrobotics #kustomkulture #hotrod #stem #disneyplus #morethanrobots https://www.instagram.com/p/CcApwxercaQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Fun fun for everyone! 🤖 #Roboticon2020 was awesome. @amrocfablab #firstroboticscompetition was exciting. The giant rubber band marble run & marble maze was a hit! Thank you 🙏 to all who stopped by to design and play. #marbles #marblerun #pegboard #usfengineering #stemeducation #steamlearning (at USF Yuengling Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3iE4p0Jf_S/?igshid=1swtyoyxrbxm0
