I challenge each team to share on their social media sites to promote FIRST and what an incredible program it is. I cannot think of a greater way to introduce what FIRST is about to sponsors, mentors and students.

Way to go - Tony Bertucci, Danny Diaz and LASA Robotics.

Was hoping for a mecanum wheelchair. Still definitely was not disappointed. This is the coolest thing I have seen in a long time. It is really amazing to see a team not only reaching out to their community with their robots, but building robots to make the world a better place.
