Now we wait to see if we&#8217;re selected for an alliance for the playoffs.  In any event, the CopperBots have shown that they are one of the best teams in the World!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every good run must come to an end. We were not chosen for an alliance, so the pit is getting packed. The silver lining is that our team has the opportunity to go observe the robots that they have spent the season watching online. Every robot is a bit different in design and brings a different way of thinking to the table. One last learning opportunity while we are here. We can not thank you enough for the AMAZING support. Other teams are shocked at the community of CopperBot supporters. Stay tuned to our page as we will be in the community over the summer and look to bring on new team members this fall. You can share our Yooper Pride and cheer on the Gladstone Bravebots who are alliance captains 8 on Johnson field<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.copperbots.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/685781656_1497308225430322_8150792252265056497_n-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-976\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.copperbots.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/685781656_1497308225430322_8150792252265056497_n-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.copperbots.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/685781656_1497308225430322_8150792252265056497_n-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.copperbots.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/685781656_1497308225430322_8150792252265056497_n-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.copperbots.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/685781656_1497308225430322_8150792252265056497_n.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The CopperBots are competing at the 2026 FRC World Championship in Houston on the Newton Field.
