Three for three: our northernmost event of the entire season, the Pine Tree District Event, returned to the beautiful state of Maine in the middle of our qualifying season!
The Colisée hosted 30 FRC teams from Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Vermont in Lewiston, Maine.
But that's not all: the event also hosted Unified Robotics teams 007 from Gray-New Gloucester High School and 009 from Sumner Learning Center!
Volunteers embraced this year's green CRESCENDO shirt and celebrated St. Patrick's Day with festive hats 🍀
