On Thursday morning, as we were getting ready to head to the San Diego Regional, we received the news that the regional would be postponed. Within a couple hours we received further news that the entire FRC season is suspended and that both world championships are cancelled. You can read the full announcement here.
As of now, the future is still unclear. We do not know whether the San Diego Regional will still occur and if it does, at what point in time. All we can say for certain is that for at least a couple of months, we will not have any competitions.
However, we must not despair. There is still much we can do to both improve our robot (for possible legitimate and off-season competitions in the summer or fall) and our community. Right now we must also focus on preparing for the next season as we lose crucial seniors and so that we can make an even better robot next year.
We should all be thankful that we at least got to compete (many teams have not had any competitions) and that we performed very well in competition as a robot and as a team. More info is soon to come (along with a season recap and detailed lessons for next year) as soon as it is available. For now, take a little bit of a break and we’ll resume robotics with more passion and fun than ever before.
