TEAM HISTORY

We have been a team for 4 years and are improving tremendously year after year. We have done better than we ever have in the past season Velocity Vortex and we hope to do even better in this year's season: Relic Recovery.

OUR MASCOT: THE MUFFIN

Our team mascot is the muffin. All of our robots have been named after muffins starting with our first robot Muffin, our second robot Muffin Top, and our third robot Muffin Top 2.0 (built off the base of Muffin Top). We also have a 3D Printer we call the bakery because we print muffins in it and other parts for our robot.
