It was great to have representatives from so many local #FIRSTRobotics teams join us for the season kickoff broadcast today. Can't wait to see all the new robots that will take the field in the coming weeks and months.
Tell me it's #FIRSTRobotics kickoff day without telling me it's kickoff day.
The 2025 #FIRSTRoboticsCompetition (FRC) season kicks off tomorrow and I can't sleep. Months of prep going into one important day. Breathe... Breathe...

82 high school students have applied to join the #FIRSTRobotics teams (Skyview Robotics 2811 & 9567) I mentor. Of those, 24 marked my Tactics & Strategy crew as their first choice. They don't want to build or drive the robot... They want to study Game Theory, Logic, and Design Principles. They want to analyze game statistics. They want to use BI platforms to build dashboards for coaches, captains, and drive team. My data nerd heart is full to bursting. #FRC #FIRSTRoboticsCompetition
Yesterday was bad freaking ass. I've started mentoring my kids' high school robotics team. (while wearing an N95) Last year, they invited my then-8th grader to be a full-fledged team member, so since she's a freshman and now I have two kids on the team, I thought I should offer up my time. Plus, my oldest is the team captain. Yesterday was the first meeting with the veterans and the kids who want to join this season. I love quirky high school nerds! They are sweet and kind. They're curious and excited. And that was just watching the slide deck full of typos and mistakes. And kids who made the slides with mistakes laughed at themselves, making the whole room laugh. I defy you to hold a straight face with 50 neurospicy laughing teenagers. It was a delightful afternoon. I know less than nothing about robots, so it will be an interesting school year. But sometimes, it's good for kids to see adults learning and making mistakes alongside them. So that'll be my job, I think. That, and ensuring everyone is fed, gets on the plane, and is in their assigned hotel room at lights out. ;) Today, we are building XRP bots to eventually play full-contact soccer (football) as practice for building our big FRC bot in January. Wish me luck!
