The New Hampshire state competition had 46 teams competing, and our team got first place! Since we won, we earned an invitation to the 2024 FIRST Championship, in Houston, April 17–20. For worlds, we are trying to patent our innovation project and upgrade our robot from EV3 to SPIKE to improve the robot.
