Proud to bring the FIRST Tech Challenge Illinois State Championship Finalist Alliance and Motivate Awards to Edison Field.  With them comes an invitation to the North Super Regional in Iowa in March.  

Congratulations to the Inspire Award Winning Fruit Salad (8817) as well as the Winning Alliance made up on Newton Busters (10138), NYAN (10091) and Robot to the Knee (5452).  Amazingly all of these teams came out of our League!  We would also like to thank Robo Raiders (7129) for selecting us for their Alliance and bringing us together with Unknown Element (10635).  A special note of congratulations also goes out to our extended family of got robot? (5037) who will also be at Super Regionals as well as Duct Tape and a Prayer (5199).    Illinois is bringing a power house to help bring the message of FIRST and STEM to the region!

Little did our close friends know that when we called on them to volunteer for our event that it was simply a way to get them all together and honor them for their contributions to our team and FIRST.

Today, we honored our friends and FIRST Alum with presenting them with the panels form our robots that honored them throughout past seasons.  Pieces of Marcos and Otter are now with their rightful owners.  They are symbolic and have great meeting to our team and we hope to you.  Thanks to all who have helped us learn the true meaning of gracious professionalism and for our friendships that will hold true forever.  

For those from got robot? and Patronum Bots who were not present (members and Coaches alike) please know that you are a huge part of the honor and respect behind these presentations.
