Cal Games 2009!
Posted by Jeffrey Yu on October 11th, 2009This past October 10, 2009, the Evergreen Valley Robotics Team trekked down to Woodside High School to participate in the first competition of the fiscal year, Cal Games!
Team hard at work...
The team in the teal – blue shirts took Woodside High by storm as they burst through the floodgates like a torrent of water. Though it was SAT day and most of the seniors were gone, there were plenty of rookies to fill the void! The rhythms boomed as the team rolled in the polycarbonate and aluminum creation, the Prototype!

While the newly recruited freshmen, sophomores, and juniors were virgin to the experience of a FIRST robotics game, they soon learned the rules of the game, and began coming together as a team.
After the satanic SATs were done with, the rest of the members rolled in to help out. While the other teams battled, the EVHS robotics team accompanied by Leland High School and the Cheesy Poofs (Bellarmine) swooped down like an eagle capturing its prey and eliminated the competition!
The awesome alliance!
In the end, the collaboration of these three illustrious teams snagged EVHS a win, and their first gold medal prize at Cal Games!

The one Plaque to Rule them All!
The experience itself was good, as it introduced many of the new members to the heat of competition. In addition to this, it allowed the team to make new acquaintances, and further the team’s sense of gracious professionalism!
For now, the team is in hiatus, but 2854 will soon be back, harder, better, faster, stronger.
Live long and Prosper.
