Troop 1325 Team at National Havoc Robot League Competition
Troop 1325’s “Just Eric” team—made up of six Scouts—took part in the National Havoc Robot League 2026 Open World Championship Qualifier Round 4 held in Norwalk on May 2, 2026. As the youngest competitors in the arena, they faced off against seasoned teams from across the United States and around the world.
Over the past ten months, the team dedicated countless hours to designing and building their robot, refining their driving skills, and preparing for competition day. Their hard work paid off as they competed with determination and confidence in three matches against highly experienced opponents, executing the strategies they had practiced.
Beyond the competition itself, participating in NHRL proved to be a deeply inspiring experience for the team. Watching advanced robots in action and interacting with skilled builders sparked their curiosity and strengthened their passion for robotics and engineering. The event motivated them to think bigger, improve their designs, and continue learning new skills. It also reinforced the value of teamwork, perseverance, and creative problem-solving—lessons they will carry forward into future challenges.
