With an almost entirely rookie team and an emerging pandemic, the 2020 season was extremely difficult. Meeting times and spaces were restricted which made training our new team more challenging. Yet, we perservered and managed to reach many with FIRST values. The Argentian camp we hosted was entirely in Spanish and available on our youtube channel, making STEM resources and coding classes more accessible to those who do not speak English. We continued our relationship with South Africa and further helped the Greater Tzaneen Community FTC teams. We also continued our advocacy for STEM locally, speaking with legislature in hopes to improve STEM funding. Despite the many challenges of the pandemic, we were able to influence and help many.

"X" Project Manager
A team of all veteran members, QuadX had a strong base for the 2019 - 2020 season. Wanting to push the boundaries of what a small group of individuals could achieve, we took on our biggest endeavor yet and travelled to Tzaneen, South Africa to set up 2 FTC teams. Coming so close to our goal of winning Inspire at Worlds last year we didn't want to leave anything on the table. Unfortunately, after an already successful season winning the Inspire awards at our League Championship and Regional Championship our season was cut short due to COVID-19.

With only one team member graduating from the year previous, QuadX had a strong base for the 2018 - 2019 season. We used our relationships built from the year before to design a competitive robot and even stronger team bond, culminating at the World Championships in Houston. Returning to the stage after a year absence, we were assured we had learned from our experiences bringing home the Inspire Finalist Award.

Starting the season with more rookies than veterans, we had a lot of learning to do jumping into our season. Though there were many bumps in the road, we always used our experience to better ourselves for the next time. Although our season appeared to be over after the Alamo Regional Championships, we continued in off-season AML and were Winning Alliance First Pick at the AML "World Championships"!

For our second year together, we knew exactly what we would need to do in order to be as successful as our rookie year. Now a group of friends who work exceptionally well together, we built another fast and maneuverable but simple robot, this time named “X.” We made it back to the World Championship, and became the first team from Texas to receive an award- the Design Award!

While the team QuadX had been in existence for a year already, it was essentially our rookie year, since everyone was new to the team- we had 5 rookies, and nobody had ever been a member of the Hardware team. Through hard work, creativity, and sheer will, however, we made it to the World Championship! We had never expected to have one of the best-performing robots in the world at the beginning the year, and making it to the finals at Worlds was a fantastic conclusion to our first year together.
