FRC Team 973: Greybots

07/17/2026

Today, we want to recognize and celebrate Nolan, our Programming Lead, for his dedication and impact on Team 973.

Throughout his time with The Greybots, Nolan has been an incredible example of what a great leader looks like.

He brought a calm and level-headed approach to leadership, always taking the time to support his teammates, listen to others, and help create a positive environment within the team.

As Programming Lead, Nolan played an important role in helping our robot succeed, but his impact went beyond just the technical side. He was always willing to share his knowledge, encourage his teammates, and help those around him become better.

Nolan’s ability to teach, support, and uplift others is one of the qualities that makes him stand out. With his goal of becoming a teacher one day, we know he will bring the same patience, encouragement, and passion for helping others to the next generation of students.

Thank you, Nolan, for your leadership, dedication, and the positive impact you have had on Team 973. We appreciate everything you have contributed and the example you have set for those around you.

Today, we want to recognize and celebrate Trevor, our 2026 Team President, who has dedicated the past four years to Team 973.

Throughout his time with The Greybots, Trevor has been someone the team could always count on. He has put in countless hours behind the scenes, spending extra time in the shop, coming in on additional build days, and doing the hard work needed to help make our robot successful.

Trevor’s dedication and work ethic have made a huge impact on our team. He has always been willing to step up, put in the effort, and help push the team forward. His commitment has helped set a strong example for the members who will continue Team 973 in the years to come.

Thank you, Trevor, for your four years of hard work, leadership, and dedication to The Greybots.

We appreciate everything you have done for this team and the standard you have helped set for future generations.

Today we are recognizing Mario, who has been a member of Team 973 for the past five years.

During his time with the Greybots, Mario served as Scout Lead for four seasons, helping collect and organize valuable match data throughout competitions. His long-term commitment to the team and willingness to contribute year after year made him a familiar and important part of Team 973.

Over the past five years, Mario has been part of countless meetings, competitions, and team experiences that have helped shape the Greybots community. We are grateful for the time and effort he dedicated to the team and the role he played in our journey.

Thank you, Mario, for five years with Team 973. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors and can’t wait to see what comes next.

The Greybots are heading toward the 2026 Championship in Houston, and we’re raising funds to make it happen. This season, our 25th has been incredible. We took 1st at Ventura County, 2nd at Central Valley (plus the Creativity Award), and at the State Championship in Anaheim, we brought home the Autonomous Award! (Sponsored by Google)

Our robot, Dust Bowl, is ready to take on teams from around the world, and we’re so excited for the opportunity to compete in Houston, Texas.
