For the 2025-26 DECODE season, we named our robot Caitlin Clank 2.2, after the famous basketball player Caitlin Clark. Just like Clark’s precision and skill on the court, our robot excels at shooting balls accurately, with an intake system designed for speed and efficiency. Caitlin Clank represents our team’s values: collaboration, creativity, and striving for excellence—showing that when we build and learn together, we all rise.
