Exactly. I've seen the Firebirds in action for a number of years. Top notch engineering, amazing sponsors, roboteers that work their fingers off, drivers that drive the wheels off the robot. They have been a "point to them" team for me for my VEX girls teams.

While they are an all girl team, they are the Firebirds, feared and loved on the East Coast.

Cool, Andy at the helm of a new mixed team, again for the right reasons for them. (Maybe they can get FIRST to assign them team number 4500, I think it's up soon.
