We are Misty Panther, the FRC team representing Nanshan High School. Our team was established during the summer of 2021, with members chosen from grades 9 to 12 within the school. On August 8, an unexpected wildfire ravaged the Hawaiian island of Maui in the United States, resulting in the destruction of local homes and the loss of lives. In the aftermath, all that remained were ashes and debris. By August 14, these wildfires had caused significant devastation in Hawaii. Our team deeply regrets these events and has created a video uploaded to YouTube to convey our heartfelt concern for this tragedy. Below is a link to the video we shot  https://youtu.be/vYvvQG2_GNE?si=Y0z8Hsi46WiKrrEl In 2023, we participated in Hawaii regional and had the opportunity to connect with teams from the area.

We held a week-long summer camp from August 14th to August 18th, and it has just come to an end. The purpose of organizing this summer camp was to provide newbies with the opportunity to learn basic fabrication skills and to further familiarize them with FRC. On the first day, senior students played an instructional video about the competition, followed by a detailed explanation of the rules. Each new student then formed a group of about three to four people and began discussing and drawing up design, and create a robot capable of meeting the mission requirements. Since most newbies were creating a robot for the first time, encountering challenges was inevitable. However, after discussions with senior students, the newbies gradually learned how to overcome those problems. All the groups successfully completed their robots by the final day and joined in an exciting competition. During the competition, each group made their best efforts to control their robots and put wooden blocks into ...
