We didn’t come back home with any trophies this time, but what we did return with will last a lifetime!  Our wins were great and our losses mostly close.  We nailed our interview, thanks to local Toastmasters International coaching support

We learned a lot, met some incredible people – including Dr. Woodie Flowers! – made some new friends, and saw some spectacular robots.

Congratulations to Palm Harbor FIRST Tech Challenge team Boom Bots for captaining the Championship Winning Alliance!

Now we’re totally fired up to be a  Force for Change next season and engineer solutions for the new FIRST Tech Challenge game SkyStone, announced at Championship as part of the new season theme FIRST Rise, produced in partnership with Star Wars!

Thank you very much to all our wonderful sponsors and donors for helping make it possible for us to attend the Houston FIRST Championship, with special thanks to RD Management, SOFWERX , Collins Aerospace (formerly Rockwell Collins) the Foundation for Community Driven Innovation and all the amazing individuals who contributed to our Go Fund Me campaign.

Thank you for believing in us! You inspire us to keep going, and we can’t wait to do it all over again this fall.
