We had a fantastic time at the FIM Belleville Event! We placed 11th out of 40, much improved from Ferndale. We were captain of Alliance 8, and won the Creativity Award for our unique algae/coral mechanism!

As we rapidly approach our 2025 kickoff, it's time to say goodbye to 2024 with the disassembly of last year's robot, Frank. His chassis will live on though, as the basis for future robots!
