The Year for Us
2023 was our 8th year of operation. After a very successful season we were looking to build up on that success and improve. In our first competition: ISR dis #2, we won the Excellence in Engineering award and were captains of alliance #2. In ISR dis #3 we were captain of alliance #3. In the ISR DCMP we were the 1st pick of alliance #5 and made it all the way to the finals. Thanks to our success in the DCMP, we made to the world championship in Houston, Texas, where we placed 33rd in the Galileo subdivision, and were the 3rd pick of alliance #6.
