After three months of building and preparing our robot for the west regional competition, team 5465 won the Rookie All-Star Award. This is an exceptional feat that took a lot of work and effort including volunteering our time for the Si Se Puede Organization.
Upon winning this award, we were invited to the St. Louis nationals and had our admission completely paid for. We could not be more thankful to them. We are also extraordinarily greatful for State Farm's generous donation which bought us plane tickets, hotel rooms, food, and everything in between while in St. Louis. My team had a fantastic time and hope to be back next year.
