Shout out to our newest Bedford FTC team Robo-Mules, they competed in the Troy Mayhem spring event today, they were the 5th place alliance captains and Finalist Alliance, plus they won 2nd place Sustain Award! They are all 5th graders who are just learning and getting their feet wet in FTC before this fall!
I spot a couple current Loose Screws and some future Loose Screws among them!

This is cool, it's all the robots that competed in the World Championships last week. Our Robot (Shorty) is at 1:14!

We don’t take the time often enough to thank these crazy guys for their incredible leadership! They are always there to help not just our team but other teams around the World!
Chris has been with the Loose Screws since their 2nd season over 13 years ago, this season he won 2nd place Compass award in the state of Michigan.
Greg joined the team as a mentor 3 years ago and this is his 2nd season as a coach.
We are so incredibly lucky to have this dynamic duo as our coaches! Thanks Coach Chris & Coach Greg!

Huge shout out to our favorite youth mentor Tyler and the Flying Octopi 8373 who were chosen in the FRC playoffs! They have had an amazing year and we are so lucky to have Tyler (also a Loose Screws Alumni) as a mentor!

Our playing time at the World Championships has come to an end. We could not be more proud of these kids and all they have accomplished this season! This is the first time in Loose Screws 15 year history we’ve made it this far. We ended 26th out of 57 of the very best teams from all over the world. We played with teams from Brazil, Romania & Greece. Met people from every corner of the US & World! This has been an experience none of us will ever forget! For our 8th grades moving on to FRC next season, what a way to go out, we will miss them immensely! Thank you for following along with us and supporting us this whole season!

It’s time for alliance selection! Yesterday was a roller coaster we were up to 15th position at one point and ended at 26th 5 and 5 win/loss. We are so proud of these kids no matter what happens now!
