Team 1111 is the Chesapeake Regional CO-HOST. (We've emphasized our role as home team through directing teams to local venues and helping them out with hotel issues and finding stuff to do after regionals.)

Our team's nickname is "The Powerhawks," though our robot is named "Pedro." (Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite, I might add.)

We are based 15 minutes outside of Annapolis in Edgewater, MD--we are also the only public school robotics team in Anne Arundel County.

Our team is 25 members strong, only 1 or 2 of which are seniors (including me) with 10 mentors (making 35 total).

Our team was founded the year that our school made national news--for not something we are too proud of (and thankfully none of those people are here anymore)

Our give-aways include hair-ribbons (Yes! Some of our members will do your hair for FREE).

This is our first year in the animation competition

We officiated a FIRST Lego League scrimmage event at a local private school (Annapolis Area Christian School).

We won the Website Excellence Award at Chesapeake regionals in 2004 and 2005, and we initiated a discussion board open to the FIRST public (for team members and members of other teams).

We have never been to the National Championships (though we want to go REALLY BAD this year or next.)

We have 5 female members. (An improvement from 2 last year.)

Our robot is the first robot in our history not named after something in Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
