MA State champs

Team 4909, Bionics, hit the field at the 2025 Massachusetts State Championship with energy, strategy, and a drive to compete. Coming off a strong competition season, the team brought their A-game to the Merrimack College venue, facing off against some of the best teams in the state. 

In a packed field of high-performing robots, 4909 fought through each match with consistency and solid execution. The drive team delivered smart plays under pressure, the pit crew kept the robot in peak condition between matches. Strategic alliances and a solid autonomous routine gave the team an edge in multiple games, pushing us to finish qualifications with a respectable record of 4 wins to 3 losses.

Team 4909 was selected as a second pick by the 5th seed, recognizing our robot's capability and the team's reputation for dependable support and smart driving. While not leading an alliance this time, the team played a crucial role in tight playoff matches. Our robot consistently delivered game pieces, executed clean cycles, and held strong in defense when needed.

We made it to the quarterfinals. The matches were brutal and high-stakes. Despite tough opposition and a few close calls, our alliance fought hard. Even getting match replays in our favor. Ultimately, we were eliminated before the semis, but not without making it clear that 4909 is a team to watch—versatile, resilient, and composed under pressure.

We didn’t walk away with a banner, but we left with momentum. The team proved depth, discipline, and potential. The State Championship capped off a season of progress and learning, and it set the tone for what’s next. The Offseason starts now, and 4909 isn’t slowing down.
