We are Team Cypher, formerly known as Spirit, a passionate and determined team competing in the FIRST LEGO League (FLL) for the past five years. Our journey has been full of growth, challenges, and unforgettable achievements. In our very first year, we received the Breakthrough Award, which ignited our drive to keep moving forward despite not reaching our ultimate goal. The following year, we earned the Engineering Excellence Award, which, while not what we had hoped for, pushed us to improve and aim higher.
In our third year, we proudly represented our region in the Arab Competition, securing 3rd place in Core Values, a major milestone that marked us as a finalist team. During the Superpowered season, we achieved 4th place in the Project category—a moment of doubt that nearly broke us, but instead made us stronger.
Due to some challenges, our team briefly split into Cypher and Ethearls, but both teams still upheld our legacy by earning Core Values Awards. Realizing our true strength lies in unity, we reunited as one under the name Cypher. Today, we stand stronger than ever, with one clear mission: to win the Champion’s Award, InshaAllah (God willing).
Our first milestone in FLL, the Breakthrough Award recognized our rapid growth and potential. It was the motivation we needed to continue improving and chasing our goals, even when we fell short of victory.
Awarded for our innovative and well-executed robot design, this achievement showed our technical progress. While it wasn’t the result we aimed for, it highlighted our dedication to engineering and pushed us to aim higher.
A proud moment for our team, securing 3rd place in Core Values at the Arab Competition proved we had what it takes to compete internationally. It confirmed our teamwork, respect, and strong team spirit.
Although not our ultimate goal, placing 4th in the Project category during the Superpowered season reflected the creativity and effort we put into our innovation. It reminded us to keep pushing even when things get tough.
Even after the split, Cypher maintained its foundation of collaboration and respect, securing 4th place in Core Values. It was a testament to the team's resilience, strong connection, and the lasting culture built over years of working together.
As a newly formed team, Ethearls embraced the FLL spirit with passion and unity, earning 1st place in Core Values. This achievement proved their strength in teamwork, inclusion, and professionalism—even in a challenging transition year.
