I was misinformed.
I guess my story is a little boring compared to others but the day of the pre-kickoff meeting, my friend told me it was like battle bots and I figured I would see what it was. I was a freshman and it was the rookie year of the team. We had 5 dedicated members at the end of that year, 4 went to the regional. 3 years later, we've grown significantly and there isn't an end in sight (for both me and the team

).
