FRC‘s 2025 game was unveiled today! I’m super excited for the upcoming season. Today, I went to Auburn High School with around 30 other people on my team for the kickoff event.

This year’s game seems much more challenging compared to any other robotics challenge I’ve had. Last year during Crescendo, we set new records for our schools robotics team and I’m really proud to have been part of that. We made it to district championships in Oregon for the first time, which is an experience I’ll never forget. I just hope we can manage to do it again.

My main priorities for myself this year are to obviously learn as much as I can, but I also want to make sure the team feels welcoming for the other kids. I was given a lot of shit when I joined the team in 9th grade and it really dragged down what was otherwise a bunch of great memories.

On a somewhat unrelated note, I am really enjoying my ability to customize the color scheme of individual posts (:D). It’s a little dumb, but for some reason I find it really entertaining. It reminds me of the hodgepodge of custom CSS themes on the SCP wiki.
