Thanks so much to everyone who watched and supported us at Cow Town Throwdown this year, whether it was via the livestream or up in the bleachers! We had an incredible time competing and were able to make it all the way to the semi-finals as the Third Alliance first pick alongside team captain, #1986 Team Titanium, and #1825 The Cyborgs. A huge thank you to #1730 Team Driven from Lee’s Summit High School, for hosting the event! We’re looking forward to competing again next year and to another great season!

On October 17th and 18th, Team Neutrino participated in Clash in the Corn in West Des Moines. This was our second year participating at the first FRC offseason event in Iowa! Not only did we compete, but team members volunteered in many roles, such as food prep, field reset, and concessions. Our team also hosted two conferences: one was a code exchange, where teams could learn how other teams code their robots, and one was a how to for the Impact award, allowing more teams to effectively present about their teams impact in their community. We even presented our world famous Spaghetti award!

We had a very successful event on the robot side, with Team Neutrino and Levithan placing third overall, and was the first pick of the second alliance. We ended up winning the event for the second year in a row! Our “second team”, Team Nutrition, competed with our off-season robot, Calorie, which was a modification to our 2024 robot Valkyrie that our students did over the summer to advance their design and coding skills. Team Nutrition placed 10th overall, and was the first pick of the fourth alliance, and got third place as an alliance in the playoffs. Overall, it was a fun experience for the team and we were able to use this time to train new members, refine our skills, and continue our lasting impact in the Iowa FRC community.

Thank you to our sponsors for funding our team and everyone that watched on compete virtually or physically!
