What a wonderful #Scrimmage event today. We had our own team and Team Hope from @Stpetersexeter setting up their launchers in the arena. We were joined by @SidmouthScience exhibitors who put on a great display @FTC_UK @KingsSchoolOSM #morethanrobotsuk

Today, we 3d printed the first of the launch rollers in TPU filament. It's tough, squishy and grippy - so very different to printing with PLA. @FTC_UK #morethanrobotsuk @KingsSchoolOSM

Tomorrow, the event that led to our team being called "BarrelBots" will take place in Ottery St Mary, starting at 5am with the cannons. All the best to those taking part in the events! #morethanrobotsuk @FTC_UK @KingsSchoolOSM Tar Barrels 2025 https://t.co/d87LM10d7M

I've just opened box 2 of the arena pack. A whole layer of game elements for the #DECODE challenge! I'm sure these will be launched around the workshop next week. @FTC_UK #morethanrobotsuk

Robot team meeting today: Work is progressing on a carousel store for the balls. Hopefully we can figure a way to throw them out in the correct order. #morethanrobotsuk @FTC_UK @KingsSchoolOSM

The new season has started and we'll gather the team to plan for the year ahead. The model sphere has been 3d printed and it looks HUGE! @FTC_UK #morethanrobotsuk

We won that one 125 : 124. @FTC_UK @KingsSchoolOSM #morethanrobotsuk. The team is on fire. We're going to need 3 bigger barrel to keep the heat in!
