They counted us out… but we counted on each other. 🤖🖤
From underestimated to FINALISTS — an all-Black robotics team rewriting the narrative, one build, one code, one competition at a time. We didn’t just show up, we showed what’s possible.
Underdogs? Maybe.
Unstoppable? Definitely.
This is bigger than robots. This is representation. This is legacy.
