2025: Reefscape

REEFSCAPE was our 29th year as a robotics program and our 27th year as an FRC team! We competed at the Tallahassee and Orlando regionals, and played well enough to attend the FIRST Championship in April! During the 2025 offseason, we also attended the Space Coast Showdown in Rockledge, Florida.

FIRST Championship

After our Orlando and Tallahassee regionals, we were selected as a wildcard invite to the championship!!! Due to our consistently powerful performance at our previous events we secured a spot in the FIRST Championship. Team Resistance was one of 600+ teams attending this year, and we were placed in the Hopper Division among 74 other teams. In the Hopper Division, we unfortunately only ranked #49 with a 4-6-0 record, but we played hard and took down some formidable opponents.

Off to Houston!
Practice day!
New field, new calibration
Practice, practice, practice!

Offseason Event: Space Coast Showdown

Team Resistance attended the Space Coast Showdown in Rockledge, Florida at the end of September. At the showdown we performed at our peak:

  • We ranked #4 among 30 other robots with a fierce 6-1-0 record
  • We were the captain of Alliance 3 and selected teams 21 ComBBat and 801 Horsepower to compete with us in the playoffs
  • We made it to Round 4 in the six-alliance bracket (4th place!)
