Explorer Post 1010 has one team registered in the 2016 FIRST Tech Challenge robotics program.
The theme and title of the challenge is Velocity Vortex.
We are Team 6417 - the Blu Cru.
We kicked off our effort in early September 2016.
The challenge required us to rebuild our whole robot from the previous year.
We signed up for two qualifier tournaments, Sidwell Friends on Sunday, December 11,
and Bullis on Sunday, January 15. The tournament at Bullis was cancelled because of weather.
To prepare for the tournament, we created an engineering notebook, submitted a promotional video,
and prepared a presentation board for team judging at the tournament.
We were very lucky to have Silvia Vidaurre from Lockheed Martin as an adult mentor.

Overall, we had a great year. We just fell short of being invited to the Super Regional tournament in March.
We can do it next year. We need to focus on outreach before the challenge gets going in September 2017.
