During the Autonomous mode, robots try to push or shoot balls into goals under command of prewritten programs.

Regionals  Error Code Xero is scheduled to compete in the Oregon Autodesk Regional on March 4, 5, and 6, in Portland, Oregon. Since Portland is our "home" regional for team 1425, that is where we compete first. On March 25, 26, and 27, we will be competing at the Microsoft Seattle Regional in Seattle, Washington. We will be returning to compete as returning champions.

Thanks to Mentors Our mentors are an important part of the team. Not only do they help guide us in our various endeavors, but they teach us and help us learn valuable skills needed in our various professions in the future. We appreciate all that our mentors do for us and what they sacrifice to be a part of the team. So for all the valuable lessons we have learned from our mentors we thank you, because without them we wouldn't get anywhere.
Thank You!

Thank you Xerox & West Linn-Wilsonville School District for providing us with the tools, supplies, and housing needed for our team to succeed and grow.
