Consequences of Industrialization or CONNIE for short is our teams first ever swerve bot. CONNIE can efficiently swerve and quickly swerve to dodge opponents, pick up notes and score. Using the robotics climber to ascend on the chain, the robot will use its dunk arm to efficaciously score a note in the trap. This was the StormBots 3rd year going to the world championships in Houston

Armstrong can effectively score one game piece, go over the charged station and back, and enable it. Using its Multipurpose Arm, Armstrong can effectively carry and score both types of game pieces on all three levels  

We named this year’s robot “Juan” because it looked like the numeral “1” in profile. It’s autonomous routines from could shoot from every position. Two intakes allowed multiple shots and it could climb to the middle rung.

Our robot was named “Karen” after our dedicated SMT Magnet wing clerk at Skyview. It was able to not only deposit power cells in all three ports, but also hang from the final bar! Our  12th year of competition was cut short by Covid19 precautions after just two competitive events

Our robot was named “StormX” (Elon Musk be praised) and it was capable of placing cargo in almost any hatch on the playing field as well as being able to reach the highest point on the podium. This was the StormBots 11th year of competing and our 2nd year at the world championships!

Our robot was named “Zeus” and it was capable of placing power cubes in the switch, scale, and vault. This was our 10th season and we competed in five competitions, winning two! This was the first year that the StormBots qualified for the World Championships! 

This was our first powder-coated robot and it was blue, so we named it “Blue Thunder.” It was able to intake and shoot fuel with a turreted shooter, as well as gather gears from the human player station to place in the airship. We earned the Team Spirit, Excellence in Engineering, Safety, and Industrial Design Awards during the three events we entered. Blue Thunder’s name became the new team cheer during :“I say BLUE, you say THUNDER!”

Our robot was named “Yertle” and it was able to consistently cross all of the defenses and pick up and shoot boulders. This was the first year we used belts instead of chains on the robot. We won our second blue banner at the Philomath. We attended three district events, earning both the Industrial Safety and Quality Awards twice.

We named our robot “Stormageddon.” It was able to manipulate both totes and recycle cans with pool noodles placed by the human player. At the Oregon City District event we ranked 22nd, 14th at the Mount Vernon District and were an alliance captain. At the Philomath District event we earned our second Entrepreneurship Award and ranked 6th.

Our robot that year was named “Cora” and known for two T-pex panels (like Star Wars TIE fighter wings) used for defense. Cora was also able to shoot yoga balls over the truss and into the high goal. We won our first competition ever and a coveted blue banner at the Oregon State University competition. We also earned Team Spirit, Quality, and two Industrial Safety Awards.

We named the robot “Stanley” due to the use of a tape measure as part of the climbing mechanism. Stanley was able to collect frisbees from the human player station and shoot them into the high goal. Fun Fact: The tape measure wasn’t actually a Stanley brand. We attended the Autodesk Oregon Regional and the Central Washington Regional and earned the Industrial Safety Award and the Team Spirit Award.

We competed in both the Seattle Olympic and Autodesk Oregon Regionals. At the Oregon Regional, we ranked 44th. At the Seattle Olympic Regional we fared better, earning our first  Entrepreneurship Award and making it to semi-finals as the 12th-ranked robot.

We competed in two regional competitions for the first time: the Seattle Olympic and Autodesk Oregon Regionals. We ranked 36th at the Seattle Regional. At the Oregon Regional we ranked 18th and were selected to compete in the semi-final rounds.

This was the StormBots rookie year! We competed in the Oregon Regional and finished 17th of 54 teams.

In our second year we finished 8th of 61 teams at the Oregon Regional. We also earned our first award, the Industrial Design Award, sponsored by General Motors.
