Happy Kickoff ViPrs! The season has officially begun and our student leaders and mentors are all already planning how The ViPrs will be taking the stage and turning up the volume in the 2024 CRESCENDO FIRST Robotics competition! This upcoming week Mechanical Fabrication and Design will be taking the mic as they finish building the field pieces for this years competition and outline this seasons goals as they begin designing the robot. As they storm the stage, Strategy and Drive will begin their dive into this season's game manual, using their knowledge to help Mechanical Fabrication and Design as they begin their designs. While our robot side mans the stage, MTR will be turning up the volume, posting on social media, reaching out to sponsors, and connecting with the community through outreach! Week 1 of the season has begun and this season may just be the performance of a lifetime. We cannot wait to see everyone at sessions this week, and hope you are all just as excited as we are!
Sincerely,
ViPrs Leadership
