With the complications of the Covid-19 epidemic, Our team has decided to channel our skills into a new and unknown field.
With the new opportunity to compete in the NMRC conference Meet In April, Our team is working hard on improving our robot and being there for each other.
As with all new additions to our robot we continuously test fit, refine and test again until we get the new addition to top performance and perfection.

Our volunteers are a HUGE asset to our team! The help us plan, build, problem solve and understand the robot.
