April 1, 2023 – Albany, NY

Congratulations are in order! This past weekend Shaker Robotics competed against 47 other teams at the NY Tech Valley Regional (NYTVR). Shaker Robotics was awarded the Excellence in Engineering Award. This award celebrates a team that demonstrates a professional approach to the design process. After being a finalist at NYTVR the team received a wildcard qualifying them to compete at the FRC World Championships in Houston, Texas. 

As you can imagine there is a lot of excitement from both the students and the mentors regarding the invitation to Championships, where they will compete against teams from all over the world. The reality of transporting students, mentors, a robot, and support equipment 1,800 miles to Houston has hit, and the team needs to raise the funds to compete. Please help us send our team to Houston so that our students can experience the culmination of their hard work and efforts! Tax deductible donations can be made via www.team2791.org/donate/ or from our crowdfunding campaign https://givebutter.com/FummIS. You may contact the team at team2791@gmail.com for more information.
