2026 East Bay District Event
-
At the 2026 East Bay event, we continued our success from the Sacramento Event. For the first time, the turret was fully functional, and the robot was far more consistent. We qualified for the playoffs as the first pick of Alliance 5, and were eliminated in the 3rd round after yet another close match
-
Our team was awarded the Excellence in Engineering award! This award recognized our engineering practices, including our FMEA (failure mode and effects analysis), extensive prototyping, documentation, and strategic design that assisted us in having such a successful season.

2026 Sacramento District Event
-
The 2026 Sacramento District Event was the debut event for the California District system, and our robot Claude! This was also our first ever travel competition! This year, we decided to be more mechanically ambitious and settled on a turret robot. Although qualifications were rough as we ironed out several problems, and navigated several large breaks forcing us to disable the turret, playoffs were absolutely amazing
-
Thanks to the tireless work of our pit crews, we managed to get our robot in perfect condition just in time for the playoffs. Along with our alliance partners Team 1138 Eagle Engineering and Team 1857 Citrus Sparks, we managed to outperform all expectations and upset Alliance 5 and Alliance 2 for our highest playoff placement in team history. Unfortunately, we would fall in the semi-finals in a nail-biter by a margin of only 10 points.

The 2025 Northern California Invitational marked the end of a successful 2025 season! We ended the season with a bang, advancing to the 4th round of the playoffs, and putting up a maximum of 80 points, even with a reduced team!

Karl the Fog, our happy cloud, along with the amazing Karl hat, led our team to receive the Imagery Award! The judges gave us recognition for our efforts at team branding and our values of a student lead team, that brings together communities from all across the Bay Area.

Our team was the first pick of Alliance 7, made up of 1351, 9038, 670, and 2035. Our alliance was incredibly successful in the playoffs. Taking advantage of all four teams in our alliance, we were able to take down Alliance 2, and Alliance 4, but ultimately fell in an extremely close match against Alliance 1.

2025 East Bay Regional
-
We ended our 2025 Reefscape season with a huge bang this year! We managed to achieve an EPA of 47, putting us just outside the top 60 teams in California. We also ended up winning the Rising All Star award, marking our third award win in team history! By the numbers, this was our most sucessful comp in team history
-
Despite some early issues, we managed to qualify for our second round of playoffs in a row, becoming the 2nd pick of Alliance 6. Although we got eliminated quickly, it was a fulfilling experience and a great way to cap off a terrific season. Thank you to our alliance partners team 8852 Drew Robotics, and team 6059 System Overload Robotics
-
After losing half our team and starting fresh with new leadership, the beginning of our season was nothing short of chaotic. But things only got more challenging. In the spring of 2024, a fire damaged our makerspace, Humanmade, putting the space out of commission for several months. As the season kicked off, we were juggling a brand-new leadership team, limited funding, and the ongoing recovery from the fire. Despite these setbacks, our team persevered. We're proud to share that our hard work and resilience were officially recognized with the Rising All Star Award. This honor not only reflects the obstacles we overcame but also celebrates who we are—a young, passionate, and growing community team.

2024 East Bay Regional
-
SF Unity is grateful for the experience gained from going to two regionals this year. The second of which was East Bay Regionals. At EBR, we rebranded our robot to become Phoenix. It was there that we rose from the ashes of SFR and placed 22nd out of 60 teams!

2024 San Francisco Regional
-
In our 2nd season, we debuted our Sutro robot at San Francisco Regionals. Unfortunately, we placed 43rd out of 43 teams. We were disappointed, as we knew that we could have done better. Due to an extended design process which led to rushing during fabrication, our robot malfunctioned several times. However, we look back on SFR fondly, as it serves as a learning experience.
