- FIRST Challenge 2017
“Fun” — Every year, the FIRST challenge is different and challenging, but fun; we like to say it's the hardest fun we've ever experienced! - Team
“Family” — Everyone on the team is close; during the build season, students spend a countless number of hours working, collaborating, and spending time with each other. - Strengths
“Passionate” — Everyone on the team is passionate about robotics and seeing the team grow. - Challenges
“Time Management” — Although we do set deadlines for ourselves, it is difficult to always follow through on them. - Goals
“Efficency” — This year, the team's goal was to have everyone working productively during the meetings, and make the most of their work time.
