Alright, now that Week 6 is nearly finished, and a few of my friends have already asked me about Worlds, I figured it’d be as good a time as any to post this.

My team qualified for Worlds, and I am going.

I don’t know if my team is going to Roboprom, and I’m still on the fence about going even if they are.

I’ll be posting about Worlds, and might try to arrange an FRCblr meetup if those going are interested. Not sure yet due to scheduling, interest, and such.

If anyone is going for the first time and wants tips/advice, feel free to leave an ask. I went last year and know a little bit and am willing to help.

Asks and DMs are also open for bracelets. Feel free to stop by the pit and say hi. I typically stay in the pits and either stream the matches on my phone or watch them on tv in other team’s kitchenettes [iykyk] or I will be wandering getting buttons or looking at the innovation fair. My only requests are to come back later if you see I’m working on the robot and to not lead me away from my meal if it’s something bigger than a bag of chips (lunch, late breakfast, etc.)

I gift bracelets to other teams only to FRClbr people (other than one specific time), so you better like my shoelaces or want some vanilla extract. I’m afraid boops may be a bit too generic and not a fan of random people physically booping me.

Most likely wearing my black and white sketchers with black laces. Since that’s kinda generic you’ll know me by my black bag with a treble clef and music staff.

And now finally, the poll:

Hey FRC people!

I'm bored and tired of packing for Houston, so I thought I'd do a quick writeup of some Ontarian teams that'll be there! Hopefully you can find some new teams to watch and watch out for. Do note that this post is NOT a suitable replacement for good pit scouting. Teams may have fixed their robots from the last time I saw them compete. Also, these are not all the ontario teams, just the ones I've seen play so far. With that out of the way, let's start with...

Team 2056: OP Robotics

They certainly live up to their name.

Statbotics Rank: 1

FUN Rank: 2

EPA: 58.9

Common name: OP

Last event I saw them at: Ontario DCMP

Division: Galileo

I mean, what else is there to say about them that hasn't been said before? OP Robotics has always been a top competitor in Ontario, let alone the whole world. They have an incredibly well designed robot, with one of the cleanest swerves I've ever seen. Sure, they can't trap, but they can make up for it by a mile with the metric ton of notes they put out. There are a few chinks in the armor: the aforementioned trap, a slightly slow amp shot, and how their robot can pretty easily be pushed around, but who cares? They certainly don't. Did I forget their former world record of 155 clean?

Team 2200: MMRambotics

Ramming through the competition.

Statbotics Rank: 69 (nice)

FUN Rank: 46

EPA: 38.5

Common name: Rambotics

Last event I saw them at: Ontario DCMP

Division: Curie

Sleek, compact, and fast as hell. Rambotics have been a top contender in Ontario for a long time now, and it's easy to see why. They can trap, 5 note, and has one of the fastest amp shots. Very, VERY scary team to go up against. They've had some consistency issues throughout the season, unfortunately. However, that does not stop them from being a major threat on whatever alliance they're on. My advice? Just cycle.

Team 3683: Team DAVE

These guys aren't your average Joes.

Statbotics Rank: 73

FUN Rank: 35

EPA: 37.9

Common name: Dave

Last event I saw them at: Ontario DCMP

Division: Galileo

While they may have a pretty boring name, don't let that fool you into thinking that they're not one of the best robots in the world. Together with OP and 2702, they set a former world record of 155 clean, and that's only the beginning. They have a very fast trap, clean swerve, consistent 4 and 5 notes, and maybe 6 if I'm remembering right. They've been consistent throughout the season, and are a major major threat on any alliance. Again, like rambotics: just cycle.

Team 4946: The Alpha Dogs

The dogs are in the house. And by god, they're barking.

Statbotics Rank: 85

FUN Rank: 62

EPA: 37

Common Name: Alpha Dogs

Last event I saw them at: Ontario DCMP

Division: Archimedes

With two* of the most controversial robots of the year and some great placings, these dogs are continuing to learn new tricks. And yes, you heard that right. TWO. WHOLE. (NOT) ROBOTS. Using a loophole in G209 that states that a robot counts as a robot only if it has a drive train, they have two whole configurations. It's so insanely cool. While I have heard that they may not be bringing it to worlds, that still won't count them out from doing well. They have fairly consistent 4 and 5 note autos, which have had some consistency issues. However, they more than make up for it in teleop, with one of the best drivers out there. They can also trap consistently on their main configuration (as of Ontario DCMP). Do not even THINK of defending them, it's just a waste of time. These dogs have a damn good bite, and will show up in any alliance.

Team 3161: Tronic Titans

Shooting notes in style.

Statbotics Rank: 130

FUN Rank: N/A (I swear they were on there i might be blind)

EPA: 35.1

Common Name: Tronic

Last event I saw them at: Humber

Division: Archimedes

You can recognize them across the venue with their signature black and gold capes, but style isn't all they've got. This team is incredibly consistent, with a very good amp shot and a solid 4 note auto. Just a very very consistent robot all around. They'll always do their part and more on any alliance.

Team 4907: Thunderstamps

If you've heard the clap, it's already too late.

Statbotics Rank: 163

FUN Rank: N/A (again I swear they were there)

EPA: 34.1

Common name: Stamps, TStamps

Last event I saw them at: Windsor

Division: Galileo

You may know them as the jumping robot from 2022, but this team isn't a one trick pony. They've been plauged with a streak of bad luck, mired with consistency issues, but they keep plodding along. They have a very good 4 and 5 notes autos, and a trap to boot. These racehorses may qualify as a dark horse this worlds, but that by no means means they're out.

Team 7558: ALT-F4

If you're up against them, try using that shortcut to end the match sooner.

Statbotics Rank: 200

FUN Rank: N/A

EPA: 32.7

Common name: Alt-f4

Last event I saw them at: Humber

Division: Galileo

One of the newer teams on the block, and took me by surprise in 2023. This year however, they've had a little less luck. With some auto and consistency issues, they've not had as good a run as I know they can. Their turret can beam notes like it's water, and autos can be smooth as butter. Keep a close eye on them.

Team 5885: Villanova WiredCats

All wired up and ready to roar.

Statbotics Rank: 261

FUN Rank: N/A

EPA: 31.2

Common name: wiredcats

Last event I saw them at: Windsor

Division: Milstein

These kitties are the all around picture of a solid robot. With a pretty unique back shooter that allows them to amp fairly quick, and some solid autos, they'll pack a punch on the field.

Team 1114: Simbotics

All hail the kings/queens/themperors.

Statbotics Rank: 268

FUN Rank: 44

EPA: 31

Common name: Sim, Simbots

Last event I saw them at: Ontario DCMP

Division: Milstein

Two time former world champions. Hall of fame team. Has a ship name with OP. They've done it all. And they build robots like it. Simbotics hasn't been as good as of late, but that doesn't mean they're fully washed. They're still a very very scary robot to be looking at, and the numbers don't reflect that at all. Just keep in mind their auto inconsistencies.

Team 5406: Celt-X

The mean green machine.

Statbotics Rank: 271

FUN Rank: 95

EPA: 30.9

Common name: celtex (thats like how its pronounced leave me alone)

Last event I saw them at: Ontario DCMP

Division: Johnson

Celt-X is another really really consistent and pretty darn scary robot in its own right. With very solid 4 note autos and the ability to trap, it makes them good already. Their major selling point is a very fast amp shot, allowing for more amp cycles than what you might expect.

Team 4920: Belle River Boltheads

These nuts and bolts will break your bones.

Statbotics Rank: 377

FUN Rank: N/A

EPA: 28.6

Common name: Boltheads

Last event I saw them at: Windsor

Division: Daly

The boltheads have been a very solid and consistent robot this year. They have a good 4 note, and a good amp shot, and a good teleop. However, they were having some issues with their shooter at the end of Windsor, but that won't stop them at worlds.

Team: 1241: THEORY6

The dark horses of Canada.

Statbotics Rank: 799

FUN Rank: N/A

EPA: 22.5

Common name: T6, Theory 6

Last event I saw them at: Ontario DCMP

Division: Galileo

These former world champions have had a very unfortunate streak. With their turret being broken during the first day and a bit of DCMPs, along with auto issues and swerve issues, it was looking doomed for their Worlds run. But then. They were first pick for 4946 at DCMPs. Was it Faith? Pity? The memes? Whatever it was, Theory 6 proved themselves very worthy of that pick. Once their shooter gets up and running, it can turn itself into a mini 254. Keep a very very close eye on this team, and if noone gets them, snag them while you can.

And that's it! feel free to tag or add any US teams that I might not know or have heard about, I'd love to know who to watch! Good luck to all competing!

– I'll try my best not to do it. – I'm not complaining at all. – No, no, I know. – I'm just saying we'll work on it, okay? – I'm nervous, man. That's all I'm saying. But it's all good, I'll try not to. – Trust me, you're not the only one who's nervous. – Thank you. [after a whistle] – Hey, you said you nervous and now you talking to them, uh? – 😁

49ERS WIN RAHHHHHHHH

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH BANG BANG NINER GANG 💥💥💥

Me and @alypink watching that game was like

and then the comeback happened....

(based on this real conversation on discord 🤣🤣🤣)

Now onto the Super Bowl vs Chiefs!! I do think it's gonna be a dog fight between Niners and Chiefs. I surely want Niners to win, but Mahomes and Kelce and Andy Reid has more Super Bowl experience, so it's gonna be HARD.

but hey, at least Usher is performing in the halftime show. I LOVE HIM.

oh yeah almost forgot. Me and Aly also made a few discord touchdown stickers! 🤣

#GRAHHHH #i was so done with that first half defense oh my god the RUSH DEFENSE IS ASS.#I literally was about to go to sleep since I also watched the Chiefs vs Ravens at 3 AM my time. And then Niners vs Lions at 6.30 AM.#Aly my beloved convinced me to keep watching the game from halfway around the world what a queen 🙏😭#seeing that performance makes me MAD bro.#BANG BANG NINER GANG #nfc championship 2023 #nfl #american football #san francisco 49ers #niners #49ers #detroit lions #call of duty oc #cod oc #original character

Cross-country season has started! Fifa!talia is out, FIS!talia is in!

Most of the athletes on the GBR team are Scottish and they all live in Norway most of the year. Norwegians have such a love for them and some of them even speak Norwegian fluently. Two years ago, they lost funding from the UK government and it looked like they would have to quit skiing all-together. Then, rich Norwegians began sponsoring them and now they are training with a private Norwegian team and funded by Norwegians 💖

#hetalia #aph norway #aph scotland #hws norway #hw scotland #scotnor #🥺🥺🥺 I love them so much #FIS!talia #can't wait for the World Championship in Trondheim 2025!!!#I'm going to volunteer for it and am putting “nation host” as my first choice #I am such a fan of cross-country it's my everything #I love sports ok?#but especially cross-country #there's def some AU potential there as well #a swedish athlete got frostbite on his private parts racing in Finland this weekend #just thought you all should know #also I think it's amazing that norwegian people are so passionate about the GBR team #they even had a fund-raiser to raise money for them when they were cut off by their own country #and private Norwegian people just sponsoring them full-time??? What a support!!#They even got a documentary mini-series on NRK

2023 WORLD CHAMPIONS: KAORI SAKAMOTO + SHOMA UNO First Japanese Singles Skaters to Defend their World Titles in Figure Skating ”My strength for this season was my experience up until today. Before the Grand Prix Final I struggled a lot but the week into Nationals I was able to bring my condition back up because of the experiences I had before, I remembered how to overcome that, so I was able to do that. Today in my free skate I was nervous but I was able to minimize my mistakes because of all the struggles and tough experiences I had, so I can say my strength is from my experiences.” - Kaori Sakamoto

“Looking back at my career, I’ve had several similar experiences and there’s always people around and close to me to support me through the hard times. I had this with injuries, bad condition, in the past it was my family that was there for me but now there’s Marin, Stephane and coach Demi, all the managers and everyone involved, I’m really grateful for the support and presence to my team.” - Shoma Uno

#kaori sakamoto #shoma uno #figure skating #fs #world championships #world championships 2023 #worlds #worlds 2023 #season: 2022 2023 #the importance of learning from experience and strong support system #not only that they are the first to win consecutive world titles in japan's long history of figure skating #that they did it at home with home pressure is kinda insane #especially since in 2019 they both got written off as having weak mental strength #kaori for popping off the podium #and shoma for breaking his podium streak

i understand why charles signed the mega contract with ferrari and why it's important to him to stay and win with ferrari but dammit lestappen rbr would've given us some of the best racing in recent memory

#lestappen #silly season 2023 #more rambling and conspiracy theories in the tags #what's interesting is who is going to replace checo because i think it's very likely he'll be out of a seat by end of the season #danny ric is obviously a possibility but CH wants someone who can match max which is impossible because he's max verstappen #the only driver it would be possible would be charles because they have similar driving styles and are both generational talents #oscar piastri i think will be targeted but he did just put out a statement that he's happy at mclaren so who knows #i don't think lando will leave mclaren #i think we'll get danny ric for 2024 -> liam lawson into torro rosso seat -> liam lawson to rbr in 2025 #similarly who will replace carlos at ferrari in 2025 though! i honestly think either alex albon or pierre gasly #they want a second driver to charles's first and both have proven they can win races and i think both would take being 2nd to charles alrig #or maybe oscar to ferrari but i don't think it would be good for oscar he deserves to be n1 driver #and then obviously there's my crackpot lestappen ferrari 2029 theory #in which max will not really be content until he wins at f1 (breaks the championship record + wins with ferrari)#and we get lestappen teammates trading off world championships #a girl can dream

So with Ospreay fighting Swerve for the world championship, does that mean not only are we getting AEW VS AEW for the world championship at Forbidden Door but that Ospreay isn't gonna defend the international championship? Cause if there's one title that should be on the line at every Forbidden Door it's that one, so unless they book him to have two matches...

#if they have taken the international championship out of play for forbidden door then that is monumentally stupid imho #I get they might be wanting to set things up now so they can run back swerve vs ospreay at all in #(and they could announce an international defence yet. there's still time)#but if they do that by having ospreay defend the international title first then lose to swerve for the world title #that'd be like saying ''yeah the champ only won because will was already tired'' which doesn't sit well with me #I am concerned since they're booking ospreay like he can't lose #I hope this match is his first loss cause swerve deserves longer as champ but the timing of this match just doesn't feel ideal

I'm sorry, okay. I love him, but this is the first thing that came to mind when I saw him.
