Royal Robots and Robo Raptors—Season Send"t" Off!

Our competition season has come to an end—and what a season it was! We made it to state, with our sister team! We built two competitive robots this season, learning a lot along the way. We made new friends, took chances, failed, succeeded, planned events, coded, built, fundraised, picked up new skills, challenged ourselves and each other. We had an amazing group of supporters and teammates.

FTC Iowa State Championship Recap:

Royal Robots finished our matches in 4th place in the Black Division out of 36 teams. This earned us the 4th place Alliance Captain position for the double elimination tournament! We moved up to the 3rd place Alliance Captain after initial alliances were picked. We wrapped up our season after participating in the double elimination tournament. It was an amazing experience.

Robo Raptors finished their season in 18th place in the Gold Division matches out of 36 teams.

Beyond the field, both teams had fun showcasing their season during their judges interviews and in their team pits.

To top it off, our amazing Coach Sendt received the Compass Award for being her awesome self and helping us grow!

The Royal Robots and Robo Raptors want to thank all of our supporters—our coaches, mentors, families, sponsors, community partners, community members and each other! We learned so much and grew a ton. It was an amazing season!
