2025 mid-season update

2025 Mid-Season update

Hello everyone, please join Karina to catch up with our team and learn about our progress so far this season.

Report

We are halfway through the 2025 robotics season and we’re excited to reflect on our progress, evaluate our current strategies, and assess the challenges we’ve faced. For the first time in the team’s history, we are participating in two regional competitions. We will be competing at the Finger Lakes Regional at Rochester Institute of Technology on March 12th to March 15th, 2025. With a week in between to debrief, reflect, and improve our robot, we will be competing at the New York Tech Valley Regional at MVP Arena in Albany NY. Our team is excited for the opportunities this season brings and we wanted to share an update with all our supporters.

2025 Parents Weekend

Parents Weekend

At the start of every robotics season, the Tech Valley High School Dragons invite parents of team members to our school for a Parents Build Day. Parents build field elements for the team and the community practice field. The pratice field is used by The Dragons and other local teams to test and perfect their robots. We are grateful for the support of our parents and our practice field collaborators!
