Year Five

Week 1: Northern Lights - Duluth, MN:  Our team took home the Regional Hardhat Safety Award. In addition we were awarded 3 peer pit safety awards. Our Chairman’s presentation team presented for Judges for the first time and gained a lot of great experience and feedback.

Week 6: 10,000 Lakes Regional - Minneapolis, MN: FRC 4607’s safety team won our second Regional Hardhat Safety Award of the year, not only this but our 5th year team walked away with the Chairman’s Award for the second year in a row. Winning the Chairman’s Award this year meant that this would be the 3rd time in our five year history we would be attending the World Championships, and the 4th time our team has qualified for the Minnesota State Tournament.

Year Three 

The team reached an outstanding high number this year, with 45 students: 20 girls and 25 boys.  This catalyzed significant change in the way CIS was structured, resulting in more organized meetings, regrouping of tasks, and more explicitly stated procedures.  The team also made significant leaps in its outreach, taking on even more events than the usual: CMMA Presentation, MTS Presentation, and inviting three local teams to the annual Pancake Kickoff, where student leaders led a handful of training sessions.

North Star Regional: 4607 won the team spirit award and are very proud of the achievement; because they feel it accurately encompasses the advancements made in CIS’s entrepreneurship skill set: CIS’s Business Plan, Mission Statement, improved website, invigorated outreach plan, and more organized team layout. 

Rookie Year

We had 24 active members and 12 active mentors. The local newspaper referred to this season as “a Cinderella story”

North Star Regional:  We were one of three teams on the winning alliance and were also honored with the Rookie All-Star Award. These acted as our golden tickets to the Minnesota State Tournament as well as the World Competition in St. Louis, Missouri. 

2013 World Championship in St.Louis, Missouri: We had the opportunity to interact with high-caliber teams from across the United States and from other countries like Israel, France, and Mexico.  This proved to be a marvelous experience for all attending members

2013 MSHSL State Championship: We again found our niche as a defensive robot early on in the competition, and we ended up with a state title to put under our belts.
