9096 BAd weather rookie season

Our incredibly generous and gracious mentor team, #2370, the iBots of Rutland, VT, not only hosted an incredible kickoff event but allowed us to stay and observe (and participate, although as a rookie team, we were a bit shy!) their strategy session. The iBots live and breathe Gracious Professionalism, and we will forever be grateful for their support, guidance and mentorship.

9096 BAd weather rookie season

But we need to build a robot! Not to worry. Our mentor team was there for us throughout the entire season, from phone and Zoom calls to letting us use their very well-equipped workshop. (We’re still jealous of their workshop!)
