These are three of the most prestigious robotics competitions in the world, and winning all three of them (two of them twice) is an unrivaled accomplishment.
Thanks for pointing this out, Jared. What an unparalleled resume for Paul. Congratulations on yet another huge accomplishment. We're all excited to see what you tackle next!
