Our robotics team actively volunteers with community organizations, to help give back to the community. We have partner with the Travis Manion Foundation to help take down the American flags from downtown Bay City for winter storage. We are proud to have partnered with this amazing group for the past 2 years, and look forward to supporting them in the future. In addition we have paired up with the local girl scouts to display our robot with their members.
