We have several team members who are advisers for a local high school FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) robotics team. Team 4118 (P. K. Yonge High School), the Roaring Riptides, competed for their 3rd year today. Emphasis was placed on getting the robot up and running as quickly as possible. A quicker built platform meant more time for testing and driver training. Their hard work paid off with P. K. Yonge coming in at 11th place out of 62 teams.
