Your Loaf of Bread #29

Lemon Puff Update

Team 5940’s 2026 on-season robot, “Lemon Puff”, has played in numerous events this off-season, including Sunset Showdown, Calgames, and Chezy Champs. Since this bot’s outstanding performance on the Einstein field at World Championships, we has been actively working to improve it even further so that it can compete at its best during these off-season events. These developments include work on Lemon Puff’s expandable hopper, often referred to as the “juicer”, which recently demonstrated its skills during our victory at Calgames two weeks ago. Additionally, Team 5940 has also replaced the shooter hub to resolve some issues with eccentricity, meaning that rotation was slightly off center, to allow our bot to accomplish even more in this final stretch of off-season.

CalGames Recap

From October 16-19, Team 5940 attended CalGames, which was especially important for our new bakers, with it being their second-ever competition. BREAD performed throughout our matches with teamwork and participation, ultimately being part of the winning alliance. BREAD was first pick of Alliance 1 along with team 4990, the Basement Bots; team 6418, the Missfits; and our alliance captain 3045, the Gear Gremlins. Team 5940 fiercely competed through every playoff round and won the competition as part of the winning alliance.
