🔗 Tied Up in Knots: The [cy]Bearcats #11214 and the Great Ratchet Strap Saga
They say FRC is about engineering, but we’re starting to think the real challenge is mastering the ratchet strap! 🔧
This year, our ongoing battle with the trailer straps we use to secure our robot and PIT equipment has become the biggest inside joke of the team. We’re great with coding and mechanics, but show us a loose strap, and it’s like trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube with boxing gloves on. "Pull, then push? No, loop it that way? Wait, how did it lock?!" The confusion is real!
Our Journey of (Struggle and) Success:
But seriously, we’re finding that getting these straps tight requires just as much GRIT, TEAMWORK, and PATIENCE as fine-tuning our robot, KitCats. 🤖
One person holds the hook, another manages the loop, and the whole team cheers when that first click-click-click actually happens! We might not get it right on the first try (or the third... or the sixth), but we are getting better. Every awkward attempt is another lesson in PERSISTENCE.
We want to send a massive THANK YOU to our incredible Mentors, Mr Kyle Kelley and Mr Jared Lovering for your endless patience and guidance. Thank you for not giving up on us, even when we wanted to give up on the strap. We’re determined to "get it right" and literally tie up all our loose ends (and the robot!) before the next competition.
Watch out, Albany! The straps might still be a mystery, but the KitCats are secure and we're ready for the competition! Come out to support our team on March 27 and 28 at the Civic Center in Albany, GA. We'll be the team in PURPLE who are working hard to put Bainbridge on the map!

Bearcats Drive Smart, Stay Safe!
Prom weekend is here, and at Bainbridge High School, our focus is simple: keep our students safe.
This morning, our juniors and seniors took part in a powerful Prom Safety Program that brought the reality of impaired and distracted driving into clear focus. Through hands-on experiences, students saw how quickly one decision can change everything.
We are grateful for the support of our community partners, including the Decatur County Sheriff’s Department, Bainbridge Public Safety K-9 Unit, Decatur County Crime Scene Unit, Survival Flight EMS, Bryant’s Funeral Home, Rathel’s Auto Parts, Collision & Salvage, and Rathel’s Towing, as well as Principal Bryant and the BHS administration for making this program possible.
This message goes beyond prom night. It’s about every choice, every time our students get behind the wheel.
Bearcats—take care of yourselves and each other.
Drive Smart. Stay Safe. Make every mile a memory—not a mistake.
