Our goal this season is to build a sustainable subteam that is self reliant and efficient. We also want to code an auto that allows the robot to score cycles and deposit the preloaded pixels into the designated slots using vision.

Our goal this season is STEM advocacy. We want to create more opportunities for underrepresented groups in the STEM field so that everyone has the chance to learn! By doing this we'll create an equal and fair playing field for everyone to grow!
