Following our victory at the 2019 FRC Orlando Regional, our team has created a montage of us participating at the competition. Our team had a great time, and all of us were "charging up" especially thanks to our mascot, Sparky, whose enthusiasm helped lead us to victory.

 This week Team Voltage traveled to Orlando, Florida to compete in the Orlando Regional. This competition had numerous outstanding robots competing for the title of regional winners. Our team charged up to the second-place position during the qualification rounds. We concluded the qualification matches with a win-loss score of 7-2. For the finals we chose teams 233 “The Pink Team” and 1251 “Tech-Tiger Robotics” as our alliance partners. Our alliance charged through finals with 6 wins and 1 loss crowning us the Orlando Regional Champions. During competition we were bombarded by judge after judge in the pits asking us questions spanning across the board. Concluding the chaos, we were awarded the “Excellence in Engineering” award along with being crowned the Regional winners. The result was that Team Voltage along with the rest of the alliance received bids to one of the two World Competitions, our bid resulting in us going to the competition in Houston, Texas. Team Voltage are now preparing to repeat their success shown at Orlando Regional at the South Florida Regional before charging on to compete at worlds.
Team Voltage is ready to roll! With the majority of our robot complete, all that's left is working out the final bugs. This weekend features testing of our code and more importantly, drivers tryouts! Students compete to see who will drive and manipulate the robot during competition. Anyone from the team is welcome to give the bot a spin. Charge Up, Voltage At the Palm Bay Maker Faire, we set up a booth to demonstrate our robot and raise awareness for our team. We brought out our 2016 Stronghold robot and a few VEX robots created for demonstration purposes. Unfortunately, around midway through the day, the catapult on our robot broke. Luckily, we were able to repair it in around 45 minutes, and the rest of the day went by without further incident. Our stand was fairly popular, and was always surrounded by kids wanting to interact with the robots. By introducing more people to FIRST Robotics and STEM, we hope to inspire future engineers!

The software sub team is hard at work, utilizing the teams test bots in order to verify their code and work out the bugs, ensuring that once the real bot is complete that it will be ready to roll. Mentors sit back as students take the lead in brainstorming program concepts, in addition to allowing seniors to help teach the younger students whilst still offering their knowledge and support. Keep up the good work! Charge Up, Voltage
Here marks our transition into blogging. We hope to be able to provide a more cohesive stream of updates for all of those interested in our progress. Thanks for all the continued support over the years. Here's to the future of our team and the future of STEM. Charge Up,
