🚨 BIG NEWS ALERT 🚨 Yesterday was a day to remember! The Benelux League Championship took place at SintLucas in Eindhoven and it was nothing short of AMAZING! 🤩 With 250 students from 28 FTC teams buzzing with excitement and hope, the competition was intense! The goal was clear: earn a spot at the World Finals in Houston in April, whether it be as the winning alliance Captain or the recipient of the Inspire Award, or any of the other awards.
And the winners are... 🥁 Lorentz Engineering, FTC Team SPACE, and Casimir Tech took home the crown as the winning alliance Captain, while FTC Team Gentlebotz won the hearts of the jury and received the Inspire Award!
A huge shoutout to all the participating teams, without whom this event wouldn't have been possible. And a big round of applause to the volunteers, including FRC Team Rembrandts, SintLucas their organisational team, and especially the student recording team. Thank you for making it all come together!
And to all the spectators who supported their teams or were just curious about the competition, thank you for being there!
This season was unforgettable and we can't wait for more off-season events and the next season! Let's keep the excitement going! 🔥

FTC Playground
After a successful try-out on October 26, the first official FTC Playground took place yesterday. At 16.00, Team Rembrandts' workshop was cleaned up and ready to receive the teams. Teams had to register in advance and indicate their request for help so the members of FRC Team Rembrandts could prepare themselves well to give all the teams the support they needed.
There was a good vibe, many questions were answered and with the tips given, the teams can get on with their work. From the reactions we received during and after the event, the FTC Playground was more than successful! The teams got a lot out of it and are almost ready to play their first League Meet.

Kickoff
Saturday September 10, the Kickoff of the new POWERPLAYSM season took place. And what an amazing start this was on a beautiful location at the AVANS University of Applied Sciences in Breda. There were 28 teams participating in various master classes, ranging from Strategic Design, Java, Solid Works, Judging, Imagery & Branding etc. etc. All master classes were well attended and during the short breaks in between there was still time to have a team photo taken or to visit the various stands such as Urban Living lab, Breda Robotics and FRC Team Rembrandts. For the rookie teams there was also a demo FTC. For them and all new students the master class Intro to FTC was set up so they immediately got a good idea what it actually means to participate in the FTC.
The unveiling of the new game was spectacular with the big canvas falling down after the red button was pressed. There were also many questions for the referees and the teams had the opportunity to take a closer look at the new game themselves. It will be another fun challenge this new season!
The after movie being created by Avans University of Applied Sciences will be available soon, keep an eye on our social media.
All game manuals and videos are now online on the FIRST® website
Thank you Avans University of Applied Sciences for hosting and organizing the kickoff. Thank you Bits Foundation for making the connection. It is the start for continued partnership to expand FTC in the Breda region.
