We are ready to reach a CRESCENDO in New England! The FIRST Robotics Competition event season has finally arrived, and teams all around the district are amplifying their impact, taking the stage, and reaching for the high notes.
Salem High School in Salem, New Hampshire, was excited to host 34 teams from Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont and of course New Hampshire, for the first New England FRC qualifier of 2024.
Seeing penalty-free high scores of 87 in qualification matches and 105 in playoffs, we crowned our very first CRESCENDO champions on March 2!
Special thanks to guest speaker from NE FIRST Presenting Partner BAE Systems: Engineering Director and FIRST mentor Christina Miska, who welcomed everyone to our first district qualifier of the year.
