FIRST Robotics Team Finds Success

posted ‎‎Apr 30, 2009 8:33 AM‎‎ by Gretchen Sage-Martinson   [ updated ‎‎May 7, 2009 8:40 AM‎‎ ]

Avalon and Great River's Robotics team, NO MYTHIC (Team #2491), ended their year in 9th place at the Northstar Regional Competition at Mariucci Arena on April 2-4th. They competed against many teams with more years of experience, bigger budgets and more team members.  It was an exciting weekend of seeding matches and final rounds.  Attending from our school were: Matt L, Nova and Sean K.  Sylvan was also on the team, but he was unable to attend the final event.  The team is excited for next year's competition and is looking for new teammates!  If you are interested contact Lauren.
