23213 Open Source
Willis, TX, USA
Team of the Week on May 30
We had a strong season start this year and gained a lot of attention, but we were still considered underdogs at Worlds. Luckily, we teamed up with our best friends Green Machines in playoffs. With them we made it all the way to Finalist Alliance in Ochoa. I think together we proved that an alliance with the right strategy and teamwork can become "more than the sum of their parts."
LOAD Robotics would like to congratulate Open Source on making it to the playoffs with their partners at the World Championship, and wish them luck for next year! Thanks for being Team of the Week!
24457 Typhoon Stormbots
Ajax, Ontario, Canada
Team of the Week on June 6
We are team 24457 Typhoon Stormbots from Ajax Ontario. We are a 2 time Finalist Alliance Captain at our qualifier events in Ontario and exceeded our expectations for our provincial meet. Ontario is a very competitive province so we are very proud of our results. We mentor 6 different FTC teams and sponsor 2 FLL teams.
One of our most proud achievements was gaining our nickname THE GODS OF DIY. This is due to the amount of reused parts we have on our robot. A lot of the lifts and structural pieces are reused in wacky ways that are actually very efficient. We also once 3D printed over 30 spools. Each with their own designs and we mix and matched them to make one massive unbreakable spool.
We are also in the process of designing and making our own competitor to Road Runner. We call it Melvin Pathing and it is still in development. It will be open sourced if we find that it is able to be a successor to either one of them.
LOAD Robotics would like to congratulate Typhoon Stormbots for their hard work this season, and wish them luck for next year! Their GODS OF DIY nickname sounds awesome, and we are looking forward to learning more about Melvin Pathing. Thanks for being Team of the Week!

28830 Flameforge Robotics
Swedesboro, NJ, USA
Team of the Week on July 4
We are a rookie team looking to step up our game next year. Last year, we managed to start our program and build our robot in just two months (we started in January) and still win second place in the think award at our Leagues championship. I believe our team stands out in the passion that formed around robotics as soon as it was introduced to the community. Our school didn't give us a dime to fundraise toward our team, but members went out and raised $2500 in just two weeks so we could compete. This year, we're already looking into research opportunities and fundraising. Members are all extremely excited for next year and local team 9848 Gearview (worlds Inspire Award winners) have said they cannot believe the quick progress we've had and think that we are a team to watch out for in the future. Every member participates in the team, and the passion behind it is obvious. I hope to share that with the community as we work on starting a team at my old middle school and mentoring a team from Nigeria. All in all, our FTC team has already created the opportunity for many in the community to explore a passion in robotics and it is only expanding as the program continues.
LOAD Robotics would like to congratulate Flameforge Robotics for their hard work this season! It's impressive that you were able to accomplish so much in only 2 months! Thanks for being Team of the Week!
