What a season it has been for f(x) Robotics and Chaos Theory 🤖🧡
We started in South Carolina as Alliance 8, bringing home the Engineering Excellence Award and Safety All-Star Award. At Week 2 districts, f(x) ranked 6th and competed on Alliance 2, won the Impact Award and mentors DJ and Troy were recognized as Woodie Flowers Finalists. Jordan Watts and Rachel Priest were also named FIRST Leadership Award semifinalists.
At the same event, Chaos Theory ranked 21st, competed on Alliance 4, and earned their FIRST EVER team award: the Industrial Design Award
We continued our season at UNC Pembroke, earning Excellence in Engineering Award before heading to States, where we competed on the 1st Alliance. At States, Jordan Watts was announced as a FIRST Leadership Award Finalist and earned the opportunity to represent at Worlds
But beyond the awards, this season was about the people. The long nights, stressful matches, hotel stays, car rides, laughs, teamwork, and moments that turned teammates into family.
And finally, thank you to our seniors — Abdrabo, Anthony, Lizbeth, Aynsleigh, Jayden, Jordan, Becca, and Ryan. Thank you for your leadership, dedication, and everything you gave to this team. Your impact will last long after this season ends.
Here’s to a season full of growth, chaos, memories, and success!
This end of year party was a chance to celebrate all of our accomplishments!
