In Qual 32 we were up against knight crawler and chicken bot pie and we were with toolcats and mustang.  We won auto but early in the match we took a hard hit and our front hopper panel came off, forcing Xiaohan, much to his delight to play defense while our alliance members scored. We adapted well and won, having 4 ranking points in the way. With this win we have moved up to rank #2 in the standings. Our next and last qual match of the day is match 39, where we will face our old alliance members, patriotics.

These past few days in Houston have been such an experience for the team. Since qualifying week 1, we had been patiently awaiting the day we could prove ourselves to the world. This year NoMythic set records and crushed goals like never before. The team made history and paved the path for the future years, proving what is possible.


We hit the ground running at kickoff (even before kickoff actually) creating a series of victories from there. Victories in every practice attended, decision made, relationship formed, lesson learned, and match won.


The journey to any competition is a long and hard one where every single person is needed for success. Said success is not dictated by the results of your effort, but the amount of effort contributed. What makes this team so strong is the fact that all students, mentors, parents, sponsors, alumni, etc posses the strength required to look a challenge in the eye and take it on with everything they have got. When a group of people demonstrate that level of effort, it’s never possible to fail.


With that being said, i would like to celebrate some of the landmarks that were reached this season:
~ Winners of Northern Lights Regional 2026
~ Winners of 10,000 Lakes Regional 2026
~ 1st pick of alliance 8 in Galileo division Championships 2026
~ New strategy sub team established
~ Kickoff event (1st time ever)
~ MNWR
~ and many many more milestones met


Being on a team comes with ups and downs like any other thing in life. One of my personal favorite parts of NoMythic is getting to see so many amazing people build each other up and change together. Time and time again we come together to show love and care for one another in times of need. You would truly never believe how accurate this is until you have the pleasure of experiencing it for yourself. So thank you to everyone who allowed me to write those words and mean them.


A message to our seniors:
Thank you for shaping this team and leaving your positive influence with us all as we continue to learn and grow beyond the time we have shared. You all have showed the qualities above like no other.


To end off this message, this is champs 2026 in one word; Awesomesaucejoyfulimpactfulsatisfyingsparklyexcitingcoolfulfilledcontentunexpectedexcellentvoicewarmthcommunitychaos. 
I hope that you all loved and gained from this experience.

love you NoMythic :unicorn_face::heart_hands::purple_heart:</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">lucias</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 04 May 2026 05:35:40 +0000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tknvv2BHBRc2rcsF</guid><enclosure length="0" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://avatars.slack-edge.com/2019-04-18/612537155524_14a522e2f34c9070ffba_230.jpg"/></item><item><title>PLAYOFF MATCH #10 &amp;#8211; results</title><link>https://2491nomythic.com/playoff-match-10-results/</link><description>I am sorry to tell you all, but NoMythic has been eliminated from the championship playoffs 2026. The final score in playoffs #10 was 442 to 548. Triple offense did not prove to be enough and we just barely fell behind. 

This has been a record breaking season for NoMythic, never before have we been so successful. Thank you all for your constant support and dedication. The team is hanging around and watching Einsteins, you are encouraged to do the same at home!

Love you NoMythic, thank you for an amazing season :unicorn_face::purple_heart::heart_hands:</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">lucias</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 02 May 2026 16:30:25 +0000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">GlyRSwPoEST8HTY4</guid><enclosure length="0" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://avatars.slack-edge.com/2019-04-18/612537155524_14a522e2f34c9070ffba_230.jpg"/></item><item><title>PLAYOFFS MATCH #1 &amp;#8211; DEBRIEF</title><link>https://2491nomythic.com/playoffs-match-1-debrief/</link><description>Alliance 8 loses to alliance 1 with a final score of 331 to 778.

Game play:
During our second pass in auto we got beached and stayed like that until through transition and into teleop. Our alliance prioritized passing, poaching, and scoring with some defense. The idea was if we could starve and defend The Crew we could outscore orbit and Explorer we had a shot. Unfortunately their defense was too good, our alliance got immobilized for too long, and we couldn't play effective enough defense. 

Currently in queue for playoff #5
Go NoMythic :purple_heart:</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">lucias</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 02 May 2026 13:58:06 +0000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">WeDegN22tyM2YrsK</guid><enclosure length="0" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://avatars.slack-edge.com/2019-04-18/612537155524_14a522e2f34c9070ffba_230.jpg"/></item><item><title>ALLIANCE SELECTION</title><link>https://2491nomythic.com/alliance-selection/</link><description>NoMythic starting in 21st place, was selected by the 8th alliance captain, 6528 Terror Bytes.

Game play:
This was against 2 very skilled defensive bots, 3082 Chicken Bot Pie (our close friends) and 1533 Triple Strange. They kept our scoring low even with 3 offensive blue alliance players.

Other notes:
This was the final match of qualifications and we are currently sitting at 23rd place in Galileo. The end of day newsletter is coming out tonight at closing

See you then!

Blue alliance wins 724 to 294, a new NoMythic record!!

Game play:
The match went even better than expected with Patriotics and Stateside following the plan perfectly. We set up a new auto that was very successful and all 3 alliance members were able to run theirs thanks to it. We scored about 130 there and went out to the neutral zone to pick up and pass. There was some defense thrown on Stateside but there was clear a clear backup plan that we pivoted to when that happened. Overall, this match was a huge highlight and a pleasure to watch.

Other notes:
• NoMythic is now ranked 99th IN THE WORLD
• We are currently ranked the #1 team in Minnesota
• 7th for EPA in Galileo
• 16th in our division
• record of 32-8
Next up we are taking on Orbit for an interesting match. We are hoping to shut them down on defense, keep our EPA up, protect our robot, and play our best.

Go NoMythic! :purple_heart:</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">lucias</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 01 May 2026 19:36:42 +0000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">oPDLtiZf50XJbduO</guid><enclosure length="0" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://avatars.slack-edge.com/2019-04-18/612537155524_14a522e2f34c9070ffba_230.jpg"/></item><item><title>Pit update: Match 93!</title><link>https://2491nomythic.com/pit-update-match-93/</link><description>Drive team zero, ZERO notes on mechanical functionality.

Game play:
Auto was very very very successful taking two big bites of fuel an emptying around 90 into the hub. We had the first shift and managed it well by picking up and scoring in a timely manner. There were some big passers and scorers on the other alliance that pushed us all match… but we stayed with them. In the second scoring period we started slipping was when there was a miscommunication about a pick that was set up in order to get around defense. We barely got any fuel up that cycle and we ended up falling behind.

Other notes:
Everything was looking on track for that match, now it’s just a matter of going back out there and trying again. In quals match #93 we are paired up with 4655 Stateline Robotics and our long lost teammates, 5913 Patiotics!

Wish us luck! :unicorndance1:</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">lucias</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 01 May 2026 16:07:21 +0000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">wOgIvvZ0mogm3fvT</guid><enclosure length="0" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://avatars.slack-edge.com/2019-04-18/612537155524_14a522e2f34c9070ffba_230.jpg"/></item><item><title>Pit update: match 80</title><link>https://2491nomythic.com/pit-update-match-80/</link><description>We did great this match! The robot preformed very well! but we did have some spontaneous departure of the hopper lid again, the polycarb was driven on but is still just fine for continued use. For a lot of the match, the drivers reported brownouts, this could have been from incorrect battery usage or power drain imbalances mid-match.

The pit is currently working towards a better solution to keep the hopper lid on amidst rough defense and are looking into the brownouts!</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">opalr</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 01 May 2026 15:30:11 +0000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">4R9cXFgny3024UMt</guid><enclosure length="0" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://avatars.slack-edge.com/2019-04-18/612537155524_14a522e2f34c9070ffba_230.jpg"/></item><item><title>QUAL MATCH #67 &amp;#8211; DEBRIEF</title><link>https://2491nomythic.com/qual-match-67-debrief/</link><description>Blue alliance takes the W 647 to 363. Paired with two teams high up on the leaderboard, the alliance demonstrated exceptional scoring and game play abilities.

Game play:
In auto we had a collision in the neutral zone with an alliance member …. But it was, thankfully, not as much of an issue (for programming) but a miscommunication. Tele-op we demonstrated our best passing all season. Throwing fuel back to our human player station we were able to starve the other alliance and store fuel for endgame. All in all it was a very successful way to start the day.

Other notes:
Today is an important one and the team is determined to perform. Our intake is staying together, our programming is looking strong, and we are all fired up.
