Holmen High School Robotics-FRC Team 6166

Hela is our tenth competition robot, time to celebrate!

Not only that, but she was chosen in alliance selection! We’re off to playoffs!

That’s a red alliance win! After a few tough matches, we’re celebrating a win!

Hela has had a bit of an upgrade over the last week - kids and mentors have been working pretty much around the clock to prepare for our competition this weekend! We are here and ready to Ragna-Rok!

And, thank you to the Gene Haas Foundation for sponsoring so many teams across the nation!

Matches are posted - remember to check out The Blue Alliance online or in the app for updates and a live stream.

Well, an eventful ride home!! Thanks to Graham’s Auto in Cottage Grove for taking in Tom’s truck! It was a miracle we even caught them!

But we didn’t go home empty handed! Special congrats to Warrick, Matthew, Brian, and mentor Jonathan for their hard work on our new drivers station and winning the Innovation in Control Award! More pictures to come this week.

Hela’s season debut didn’t end in playoffs, but the team learned a lot and is ready to get back in the lab to get her ready for next weekend!

We are here and ready to roll at Mukwonago!

Matches! Visit The Blue Alliance or download the app for more information on the event (as well as a livestream link).

Matches are about 10 minutes ahead of schedule at the moment.

Forged from the echoes of past games, this season has been REBUILT, reshaped from what came before into something new.

Familiar trials return with new life. Old ideas take new form. What was once known has been reforged.

Meet our 2026 robot Hela, eldest child of Odin, sister to Thor, ruler of the underworld.

She claims what is cast aside and forges it anew. In her wake, all things are transformed into something stronger.

6166 presented at our local Rotary Club this Wednesday. They did an excellent job educating Holmen on the importance and legacy of FRC.

Note the cardboard kitbot - it’s what we had to demo… We love a cardboard moment.
