POWER PLAY - JANUARY 2023
Meet Wall-E, our robot for the 22-23 season! This was the first year we fully implemented our new and very unique Robo-learners program to help new members gain skills in several areas. We were also the youngest our team has ever been this season, with the majority of our members being freshman or sophomores! This was also the first year we hosted a qualifier at Salem Academy, so team spirit was very high!
