Dec. 2022 ERC Mini Competition
This veteran team felt more like a rookie team when the school year began. With 3 returning members and new Coaches, we had new energy but a lot to learn. We joined local teams in an off-season mini-competition in order for our team to experience the build process and competition on a smaller scale than a FIRST Robotics competition. We came in 3rd, was picked first for an alliance, and took home first place!
