We just finished competing in the 2009 NJ FTC Championship and won! Team 2945, Power Surge, seeded first and picked us and team 248.
We went 3-1 in qualifying and seeded 5th in our division of 20. We went undefeated the entire afternoon, winning our division and the competition.
We would not be able to compete and be successful without the generous sponsorship of BBN Technologies.
