As we head into the 2026 FRC season, Team 2609 is taking a moment to reflect on a busy and rewarding preseason. From welcoming new members and building technical skills to competing at STEMley, running a mock kickoff, and preparing outreach projects, this fall laid a strong foundation for what lies ahead. With confidence, collaboration, and momentum on our side, Beaverworx is rebuilt and ready for the season to come.

What a day for robotics, sustainability, and community! Thank you to everyone who joined us and the Guelph Tool Library (GTL, https://guelphtoollibrary.org/ ) for their Computer Security Day this past Saturday. With about 150 visitors, GTL collected 75+ e-waste items, repaired 10 laptops, and set aside another 10 for reuse—amazing teamwork for a greener Guelph! We’re grateful for the support of the Guelph Solid Waste Department, Guelph Public Library, and Another World Virtu
