Team 1714 is sponsored by
Thomas More High School, a private Catholic high school in Milwaukee, WI. Roughly 40-50% of our team is from the school, the rest of our members hailing from various schools in the area. I personally get to drive an hour each way but I'm more of an insane exception to the rule and I'm sure that's not something most people are willing to do ^_^
If you end up in the Milwaukee area and you don't have a team, PM me and I'll see what I can do.
Yes, that's where the name comes from.
