NorCal FTC Regionals – Independence High School
Last weekend Omega 9656 attended our first ever Regional Championship at Independence High School! After an intense 2-week rebuild, our team entered the competition ready to win, and it was an awesome experience seeing and competing with all of the other FTC teams in Northern California.

What Was Accomplished
- Started reformatting our sponsorship email into a formal business letter
Notes/Additional Information
- At the qualifier, our chain kept coming undone because of the motor mounts, so we need to take the top layer of the drivetrain to tighten the motor mount, which is why now we’re reattaching the top layer of the drivetrain
- GOATS came over to our workspaces today
Reflection/Takeaways
- Trinity needs to take a break
- We need to do a better at doing binder entries

Attendance: Trinity, Tommy, Rebecca, Nidhir, Ananya, Sriteja
Plans/Goals
- This is our last chance to advance to regionals, either through actually winning or earning the Inspire Award, but we need to actually have fun
- Don’t stress about too much about advancing
- Last time we put too much pressure on ourselves and couldn’t enjoy being at the competition
- We barely have any prep time, so we likely won’t do too well anyways
What Was Accomplished
- We got nominated for a lot of awards and became a Alliance Captain, which was awesome!
- 3rd in Connect
- 2nd in Control
- 2nd in Inspire
- 2nd in Innovate
- 1st in Think
- Placed 4th out of 16 in elimination rounds
- 3rd seed alliance captain
- Won 4 qualification matches, lost 1
- Made it to finals
- We got a lottery ticket, giving us a 12/17 chance to qualify to regionals
Beginning Meetings: 10/01 and 10/02/18
On Monday 10/01:
Mechanical: Started making the robot, started creating a design and measurements for the drive train of the robot. The drive train is pretty much the system that connects the transmission to the drive axles. The mechanical team also put measurements and part types of the parts, so they will be ready to build further when the GoBilda Kit comes in.
Programming: Learned how to clone Git repositories, downloaded Git and Android Studio, became familiar with the basics of Git and some of its commands.
Outreach: The outreach team spent this meeting filling out sponsorship applications.
