BEACH BLITZ
FRC OFF-SEASON
NOVEMBER 2023
Beach Blitz, presented by Team 9271: Cyber Porpoises, was a lively off-season challenge that allowed teams to test their skills and robots outside of the usual FRC season. Our robot was given the opportunity to compete with remarkable teams from around the world. An exciting buzz was in the air as our team arrived in Mission Viejo, California. Our students and mentors made their way to Capistrano Valley High School and got to work, setting up our entire pit for a weekend of competition!
OUT TEAM SPIRIT!
The tournament served as a vibrant hub for showcasing mechanical talent and fostering community. Engaging with other teams, we not only showcased our robot but also forged new friendships and exchanged knowledge. Team 359 relished the opportunity to observe how other teams operate and enhance their students’ unique strengths. The invaluable lessons from the weekend of competition fields our drive to continue to innovate and excel.
When qualification matches finally began, our team worked diligently with our Alliance partners to maximize robot performance and competition ranking points. Our Drive Team maneuvered our off-season robot with agility and precision, darting across the field to collect critical game pieces. As we raced against time and the opposing Alliances, crowds of teams, family members, and friends roared with excitement, gripping their seats in anticipation as the robots climbed onto the Charging Station for additional points. Our students’ determination allowed us to achieve our ranking as the 6th team out of 42 teams!
