Note Worthy
2024
Record: 33-15-2
Awards Won: Creativity Award (Twice!)
Rank in the State: 54th
Meet Note Worthy, our robot for the 2024 CRESCENDO season. Our robot had to pick up “notes” and score them in the speaker, amp, or trap. The most unique attribute about this robot was our signature blowers. We would blow air at the trap door to keep it open, then we would shoot into the trap, which many teams could not do. We also won the West Michigan District, which at the time, was the 3rd hardest competition IN THE WORLD! Click here to watch the CRESCENDO trailer.

Moon Shot!
2023
Record: 36-23-2
Awards Won: Excellence in Engineering, Quality Award
Rank in the State: 50th
Meet MoonShot, our robot for the 2023 Charged Up! season. Pfizer donated a grant to help our team, so we decided to name our robot after one of their published books: MoonShot: Inside Pfizer’s Nine Month Race to Make the Impossible Possible. Moonshot used its’ claw and arm to pick up rubber cones and plastic cubes to place on nodes or shelves to earn points. At the end of the match, alliances had to balance on a seesaw-like “Charging Station” to earn even more points. Click here to watch the Charged Up! trailer.

Door Please
2022
Record: 30-16-2
Awards Won: Excellence in Engineering, Gracious Professionalism, Creativity Award
Rank in the State: 35th
Door Please was our robot for the 2022 Rapid React season. At Trimation, our home base, you can’t get inside without a key card, so members of the team had to type “Door Please” in Slack, and it happened so many times that we decided to name the robot Door Please. During the match, we used our pneumatic intake to collect balls and shoot them in the basket on the middle of the field. During the last 30 seconds of the match, teams had to climb a set of three bars, trying to traverse to the highest bar for the most points. Click here to watch the Rapid React trailer.
