Title: The Hitchhikers Robotics Team Takes Orange County by Storm!
Hey everyone! If you’ve been following the journey of The Hitchhikers robotics team, you know that we’re always up for a challenge and a good time. Well, let me tell you about our recent adventure at the Orange County District event in North Carolina – it was an absolute blast!
From the moment we arrived at the event venue, the excitement was palpable. The air was buzzing with the sounds of teams setting up their pits and fine-tuning their robots for the competition ahead. We wasted no time getting settled in and getting to know our fellow teams, exchanging stories and strategies while eagerly anticipating the matches to come.
As the competition kicked off, The Hitchhikers wasted no time making our presence known on the field. Our robot, affectionately dubbed “Max Quordlepleen” performed flawlessly (at first), zipping around the arena and completing tasks with precision and speed. But it wasn’t just about the competition – it was about the camaraderie and spirit of the event.
It was amazing to see teams from different backgrounds coming together, united by their passion for robotics and friendly competition.
Of course, the matches themselves were where the real excitement happened. The tension was palpable as alliances strategized and executed their game plans with precision. But win or lose, the spirit of sportsmanship and camaraderie prevailed, with teams cheering each other on and celebrating each other’s successes.
And let’s not forget about the awards ceremony – the moment we had all been waiting for. The Hitchhikers may not have taken home the top prize, but we were proud of our performance and grateful for the experience. We did win the “Gracious Professionalism” award. Plus, we walked away with a newfound sense of determination and inspiration to keep improving and pushing the limits of what we can achieve.
As we packed up our pit and said our farewells, we couldn’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia mixed with excitement for the next adventure. The Orange County District event in North Carolina was truly an unforgettable experience for The Hitchhikers robotics team, filled with fun, friendship, and a whole lot of robot action. We can’t wait to see where our journey takes us next!
Until next time, keep reaching for the stars and never stop exploring the exciting world of robotics!

Greetings from the Hitchhikers!
In Week 7, we finished building “Max” and continue programming and testing. We had tryouts for the drivers and drive team.

In Week 5, we continue prototyping and testing the shooter and intake. Our first shooter design pretty much failed, so we redesigned it. We continue honing our CAD skills, electronics, build and test our design.
