Prior to this season, our team had never qualified for the World Championships, always missing short of it one way or another. This year would change it all.
Our story in Rebuilt began with the Minnesota Bluff County Regional. We'd place 18th of 41, yet became the first pick to Alliance 3 with 4174 and 3206, winning the Quality Award and Safety All Star.
Moving to the Smoky Mountains, we'd rank 3rd of 46 and joined Alliance 1 with Captain 4020, 1369, and 7917. We became Regional Finalists and won Excellence in Engineering and 2 Safety All Star Awards.
Tallahasse enlightened us with rank 3 of 45, leading Alliance 2 with 108 and 21 and becoming Regional Finalists Again.
After enterring Division Daly after reaching enough points, we'd rank 70th of 75, yet selected as the second pick for Alliance 1 with 4414, 1323, and 1538.
As the primary defence robot, we'd win not only the Daly Division, but Einstien and Worlds.
For the first time since 2019, our team has reinvigorated a student leadership program, and as such, shattered our previous records.

Community Outreach reached an all-time high at ~28 hours committed per student.

Our initiative of increasing team bonding and student priority led to our highest documented retention rate of 96%.

Our Outreach left Lake County for the first time, including a beach cleanup in Broward and a STEM night with the Orlando Magic.
Reefscape kicked off at Tallahasse, where we ranked 6th of 42 and became the Alliance 4 captain with 86, 5872, and 3502. The event would award us the Excellence in Engineering Award.
The Smoky Mountains brought us rank 13 of 47, becoming the first pick to 3504 in Alliance 5 alongside 21. We'd win the Safety All Star and Team Sustainability awards while one student became a Dean's List Finalist.

Our journey in Crescendo began in Orlando, where we'd place 13th of 61 teams, making the Alliance 8 captain and selecting 801, 6722, and 79. We'd also achieve the Safety All Star award 3 years running.
In Bayou, our first regional beyond Florida, we placed 3rd of 53 teams, heading Alliance 2 with 9084 and 5526. One of our students would win the Dean's List Finalist Award here.

The team organized a Toys for Tots and Animal Shelter Drive, and attended local STEM Nights.
Our Charged Up Competition maintains one of our all-time best. At South Florida, we placed 4th of 35, captaining Alliance 3 with 108 and 4592, winning the Safety All Star Award.
At Tallahassee, we'd place 4th of 38 and became the 1st pick to Alliance 2 alongside 6510 and 7459. We'd win the Safety All Star again, and won the Autonomous Award, our first earned Banner.
Exiting the pandemic, the team completely reorganized as the old order was lost.
We converted our program from a club to a class model, enabling students to pursue credit and join the team simultaneously.
As such, Lake County and Lake Minneola High built a small workshop with equipment to join our endeavor.
The team had record new-student enrollment, and the limited returning members and new mentors became the ultimate source of guidance.
At Rapid React's Orlando Regional, we ranked 11 of 56 and captained the 7th Alliance alongside 21 and 3627. We'd also win the Safety All-Star Award.
The newly opened Tallahassee Regional brought us our highest rank yet: 3rd of 36 teams, and we became the captain of the 3rd Alliance with 8044 and 4187, eliminated in the semi-finals.
The 2019-2020 season started as our best to date.
At SpaceCoast Showdown, an offseason event, we ranked first and captained Alliance 1 with 179 and 5842, ultimately winning the event.
2020 started with the release of Infinite Recharge, and as we entered the Orlando Regional, FIRST halted the event due to COVID-19. Ultimately, the 2020 and 2021 seasons were cancelled.
The team came to a standstill and closed almost all our operations. Students split off, organization and leadership fell apart, and hibernation began.
Since 2012, we've competed in each season and developed as a team. Each year, more students and mentors joined the team, and our skill sets have only furthered.
