WHO ARE WE?

We are passionate college students currently studying at UWC Dilijan, who are invited to represent Armenia this year. We are more than willing to dedicate ourselves to the competition, and we are looking forward to learning, sharing and having a unique experience.

WHY ARE WE SUITABLE FOR THIS COMPETITION?

As mentioned above, the team is part of the UWC movement, which is corresponding precisely to the values of FIRST Robotics competition.

WHAT DO WE NEED?

For sure, we do not lack the willingness to take that amazing opportunity. However, in order to participate in this great competition, we need to pay a participation fee of $10,000 and the cost for our two-way flight tickets which we estimate to cost $500.

However, we have raised $8000 which is still, great!
