Ours was team 3498 from Aberdeen, MD.
Capitol Technology University is a big sponsor our way and that’s where he ended up in aerospace engineering.
Our first two years we qualified for World’s which made the season even longer. I missed my 25th and 26th wedding anniversaries for robot. All worth it because of the skills learned and scholarships.
Good deal. My younger son and I are always reminiscing about the FIRST experience. He’s now a good CNC machinist and also a competent welder. He learned a lot about problem solving and how to get along with people in a high-pressure environment.
