Potosi High School Blended Tournament
Wanting to get a headstart, we worked through the summer and into the fall. At the first tournament of the season, we went in with high expectations. Our overall performance was spectacular, as we earned the Skills Championship Award, Excellence Award, and was a tournament finalist.

Speedway
Speedway was our first signature event, an event of a much higher caliber than what we experienced at Potosi. Despite coming in blazing, our performance wasn't as good as we had hoped. However, we learned a lot competing at the national level and it gave us a scope into what we could be.

2025 CREATE U.S. Open Robotics Tournament
At US Open, we didn't do as well as we had hoped, with a 8-7-1 win-loss-tie record and a knockout in quarterfinals. However, the failures from this tournament only propelled our team forward. We knew this wasn't our full potential so as the tournament wrapped up, we put our upsets behind us and focused up on improving from our mistakes at US Open in preparation for the World Championships.

2025 VEX Robotics World Championship
World Championships was a blast, with over 800 teams from 60 different countries competing for global excellence, it was an experience like no other. While our performance was nothing extraordinary, little wins along the way — an occasional high rank in our division and periodic wins and close games at the highest level of VEX Robotics — kept us going. In the end, we were in consideration for the World Championships Excellence Award. As we looked back and reflected on our year of hard work and dedication, highest of highs and lowest of lows, we were excited for what our futures may hold.
