Congratulations to our former principal, Dr. Putnam, for being officially appointed as Superintendent of the Penfield Central School District! Dr. Putnam has been a huge supported of FIRST Robotics and STEM education and we look forward to continuing to work with him!

Once again, the team competed at the Finger Lakes Regional Competition in RIT. This time around, we advanced through the quarter-finals into the semi-finals before losing to another alliance. We won the Spirit Award during the first day of competition, and then during the final awards ceremony on the next day one of our students won the Dean’s List Award. Tess Kremer, the award recipient, will now be a contender for the same award at the Championship level, as will other Dean’s List winners from around the world. Good luck to her!

From March 18th-21st, we competed at the Festivale de Robotique in Montreal, Canada with nearly 50 other teams. We ranked in 7th after a complete turn-around in our scoring the morning before. One moment we’re getting less than 20 points, the next we’re getting over 100 points. The 2nd place team asked us to join their alliance as their first pick, but our alliance lost in the quarter-finals. However, during the awards ceremony, the Judges only had one thing to say to our team: Mission accomplished. We took home the prestigious Chairman’s Award, which means we are heading to the World Championships in St. Louis!
