Trinity High School (KY) navigated through a tough schedule to finish the year 41-3, capped off by a dominant victory in the Kentucky state title game.
Tata is one of a handful of national champions central to India’s industrial ambitions. But a clash over who runs it risks overshadowing the business itself

@POTUS invited the Montana State University FCS National Champions to the Oval Office!
Came across an interesting report from SVRC Research called "State of Robotics 2026", published in April.
Which listed:
1. Figure AI
2. Agility Robotics $CCXI
3. Apptronik
4. $TSLA
5. Boston Dynamics
6. Physical Intelligence
7. 1X Technologies
8. $AMZN Robotics
9. Covariant
10. Skild AI
As the National Champions of the United States robotics program.
"The United States leads the world in where robotics is heading: Fundation models, OpenAI-style scaling laws applied to action, autonomous vehicles.
While losing the race on where robotics is shipping today."
Then it frames:
1. Rare Earths Exposure: from Neodymium for motors to samarium-cobalt for high-temp applications as a critical vulnerability.
2. Actuator dependency. Series elastic actuators, quasi-direct-drive motors, and precision reducers overwhelmingly sourced from Japan, Germany, and China
As one of the main vulnerabilities alongside Manufacturing velocity/data collection cost/regulations. Then their take was:
"With at least six well-funded US humanoid companies competing for a market still in early formation, we expect at least two significant consolidation events (acquisition or merger) in 2027".
With Logistics / E-commerce (like $AMZN / $FDX) and Automotive from $GM to $FORD as being the immediate top use cases for deployment.
I think it's just interesting to see a lot of my points I've been talking about reiterated by research firms. Regardless, I do think it's going to be a major frontier race between the US and China.
Agility Robotics (which I own), Tesla, Figure, and Apptronik as leaders representing the USA. Competing against Unitree, AGIbot, Ubtech, and others in China.
