2018 Competition Recap

2018 was a great year for the HOT Team. Seeding first in half our competitions, we rocked the competition. Our team built an effective robot that proved versatile enough to win the Troy District and make our way to finals in the State Championship. After numerous revisions, we managed to shave off enough weight just in time for the end of build season. Thanks to our amazing mentors and sponsors, our 2018 robot was a resounding success!
