About the Team

Team Jelly was started in 2020 in honor of Mattias' grandpa' George who was a man with visions and an amazing engineering mind. Mattias has loved VEX since he was introduced to the program in 4th grade. He has been on a few different IQ teams and competed in both Florida and Arizona depending on where we lived. In 2020 his HS was only doing FIRST and FIRST was only online and they weren't building a new robot. Mattias really enjoys the design and engineering process and in order to support him we helped him start Team Jelly 2733J. We made him write a whole business plan and do all the research before. The first year he was a one man team. In 2021 Adam, who was a Freshman at a local high school without a robotics program, brought his 3 years of IQ experience to Team Jelly. In 2022 for the Spin Up season CiCi, Mattias sister who aged out of VEX IQ and Will, who is a phenomenal programmer, joined Adam and Mattias to make team Jelly the well rounded team they are now.

About this Season

For the Spin Up season the goal is to compete in the Dome at Worlds. This year's ticket to VEX Worlds was earned by winning the Excellence Award at the SCORE Signature event.

About Team Sponsor

Grandpa' George passed away in February of 2020 at the age of 93, after a long and eventful life. He had a brilliant mind and for years he fine tuned and manufactured a product called Hydrocap which was developed in 1948 by Dr. Palmer H. Craig, in the Physics Department at the University of Miami for the U.S. Navy. Hydrocap has been used by individuals, institutions, businesses and government agencies worldwide in thousands of applications, from solar powered systems and electric vehicles to submarines. He also created a scuba scooter used by the US Navy as well as worked on an underwater house and he was an avid offshore racer. He briefly stayed with us in 2019 and was fascinated by Mattias' 3D printer and both his and his sister's VEX IQ robots. And grandpa' loved jelly ;-)
