2016 Season
Robot Name: Scorpius
Team 2468 had a strong year. After starting competition season as 3rd seed alliance captains, the team continued to work to improve in all aspects of our program, ultimately qualifying for World Championships in 3 different ways. Once there, the team not only earned a spot on the 5th seed alliance (which was knocked out in quarterfinals for the Galileo division), but also won Engineering Inspiration, automatically qualifying us for World Championships next year.
