JP
2015-16 Rockin' Robots Team Members
Our team was made up of Middle School students at Faith Lutheran School. We typically have 4-5 students on the team, when there is an opening we ask members of the Robo Eagles FLL team at Faith if they want to move up to FTC and join our team. We interviewed FLL team members at Faith that Summer and made our decisions about our 2015-16 team roster. We'd already had a great three years and wanted to continue the next season with another outstanding robotics experience for the team.
