Conestoga Qualifier

This rookie team's enthusiasm really impressed the judges. Their grit and passion helped get this team off the ground. This STEM academy is just getting START-ed! The Rising Star Award goes to team 17596, START!

This team impressed the judges with their effort to promote FIRST to their community. Having their practice session out in the community naturally draws people to their front door, and they answer. While they hang out with Santa, their magical sparkle dust helps their unicorn fly.

The judges felt the power in this robot's design. Their many parts were held together with a force that made them indivisible. Like tiny atoms aligning, all of the components of this robot lined up to create a powerful design that allowed them to accomplish the tasks of the game.

The judges thought this team doubled down on the effort to design an innovative robot mechanism. These creative girls designed in CAD and printed many 3D parts. Their stacking "SIS-tem" helped them reach new heights.

This team impressed the judges with their engineering connections. They learned advanced math and physics principles that they used to incorporate and improve their robot. In the age of self driving robots, this team ensures autonomy.

This team's engineering notebook STEMs from a POWERful CUBE of knowledge. These students' reflections look at home in any professional tome. Their process was well documented, rife with CAD, calculations, and code, or C-cubed.

This team demonstrated strong attributes in all judging categories. During the interview, they articulated the design process of their many custom components, which they used to great effectiveness on the competition field. This team STACKS their way through their 60-mile wide community with great POWER.
