Albert Liu and Spencer Schneider, Business sub-team for Saline Singularity in FIRST Robotics Competition.

Saline Singularity robotics team met today, and week 3 focused on its “business” as much as anything else

January 26, 2019
As the clock approached nine this morning, several members of FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) Team 5066 had already started arriving. In several instances, coffee mugs in hand.
