2013-2014 Season Wrapup

Our 2013-2014 Rookie Season is wrapped up with exciting news! We won the Connect Award, which is awarded to the team that was most involved with the local engineering community, and in total we had 6 mentors and 5 sponsors. Thanks to all of them! We also placed 12th in the state out of 81 teams. Go us! The State Competition went great, even though our robot broke down. The Samantha Module wasn't working correctly and one of our motors blew out, and they took about an hour to fix.


The next, and final part of the season was the Minibot Challenge. Teams try to design a funny, practical, or challenging robot. They must record a video of it and upload it to Youtube and send the link to FIRST. FIRST makes a playlist, and the team that has the most views and likes wins!

We designed a lego sweeper robot. Watch our video here.

We placed 3rd in the Minibot Challenge. The FIRST announcement is here.

The Challenge is over, but feel free to look at all the cool robot videos here :)
