That's a very nice design. I especially like how effective your intake is. It is more outstanding that this is your teams first year in FRC. Thanks for allowing us to use your workspace to finish off before bag and tag. We look forward to playing with you at Bayou and Lone Star.

AwtyBots are breathing new life into the Texas! This team is much more than just a robot. They have the space, mentors and resources to become another great Houston team.

With 21 new rookie teams in Texas this year, AwtyBots are laying out the roadmap for new rookies. Team 5829 went through all the right steps to become a solid rookie team. The Awty School robotics group has competed in VEX for multiple years and as 6587 pre-rookie in Texas Robot Round-up.

I encourage teams at Bayou and Lone Star to pay attention to the AwtyBots.
