The [CY]BEARCAT FRC# 11214 rookie season is officially underway, and we just hit a massive milestone: by passing our very first robot inspection with flying colors! No rebuilds, no frantic wiring fixes—just a big green checkmark on the first try. Thank you to our incredible build team for their precision and to Mr. Kelley for guiding us through each of our FIRSTS building and engineering KitCat! We would also like to shout out all the support and help from Team 6919, the Commodores who have been with us each step of the journey--especially when we had hardware failure earlier in the build season.

Now the batteries are on the chargers, the code is deployed, and the team is hyped. We are officially ready to hit the field for our first-ever competition tomorrow!

Let’s go! You can watch the action live at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8htRkVNR3V0

We made it to Dalton! Huge thanks to the Commodores #6919 from Albany for the incredible mentorship. Whether it was fixing CAN malfunctions or refining our field strategy, they’ve helped us level up at every turn (even with the bumpy bumpers!).

It's time to put those bots on the field! Let's go!

To kick off Women’s History Month, primary QUEST students learned about Amelia Earhart and her impact on aviation. They honored her with a two-phase flight challenge, designing paper airplanes and assembling foam planes, then measured distances and analyzed the data between the two types of planes.

Meet Safety Captain Penny from FRC 11214 cyBearcats robotics team

Safety The CyBearcat way includes Battery Awareness, eye protection, movement announcements, respecting tools, clean workspaces, lifting with legs, and keeping hair tied back.

The [CY]BEARCATS Code Team requires Logic, Lines, and Leadership 💻

It’s one thing to build a robot; it’s another thing to give it a mind of its own.

Our 11214 Code Team has been living in the lines, turning coffee and logic into movement to ensure our AUTONOMOUS mode is crisp and reliable, this team is proving that code is just as vital as chrome under the guidance of Mr. Lovering, FRC #11214 coach and mentor. His guidance has been the "compiler" for our success, helping our rookie programmers navigate the complexities of WPILib and real-time troubleshooting with a little help from our mentor team # 6919 The Commodores.

The logic is locked in. The code is deployed. Dalton, we’re ready to execute.

7th Grade Quest and Advanced Content learners toured the FSU-FAMU College of Engineering and saw first hand the life of an engineering student. They participated in a hands-on STEM activity involving designing water filtration systems. The students saw various labs such as the biotechnology lab and also talked with teachers and engineering students.

8th grade gifted and advanced content students from Bainbridge Middle School recently visited the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida. Students engaged in a high-level discussion on the principles and properties of magnetism before constructing and testing their own electromagnets. After analyzing the variables affecting magnetic strength, they observed liquid nitrogen demonstrations to understand how temperature serves as a critical factor in electromagnetism. The group was also introduced to ReBCO (Rare-earth Barium Copper Oxide), a cutting-edge superconductor and a key candidate for next-generation ultra-high-field magnets. The experience concluded with a tour of the facility, offering students a firsthand look at scientists in action and the real-world applications of their classroom curriculum.
