2010
That year a change occurred in the team's dynamics. Most of the students that took place in the competition in 2009 decided to be a part of it once again. Thanks to that decision the project expended and became a two years project that included about 30 students from 11th and 12th grade, and inheritance of knowledge could occur. We made it to the semi finals but lost mainly due to communication problems.

Awards we won that year:
  • "Engineering Excellence Award Sponsored by Delphi": This award celebrates an elegant and advantageous machine feature that recognizes any aspect of engineering excellence and innovation in the real world. This includes, but is not limited to: design, wiring methods, material selection, programming techniques, and unique machine attributes.

2011
As a result of the successful change in the dynamics, we decided that in the upcoming year the team will be composed of three different age groups (10th, 11th, 12th graders).

We hope this year will be as good as the past years, and even better. We wish all the teams the best of luck and "we'll see you at the competitions".
