A huge congratulations to PCSS Fireweed Robotics on an incredible showing at the Festival de Robotique in Montreal this past weekend! The team placed 8th in the qualifiers, became Alliance Captain in the finals alongside Team 24522 MecaDucks, advanced to Game 8 of 10 in the championship rounds, and earned the prestigious Sustain Award.

A special shout-out goes to Adrien Gregoire, whose dedication and talent were instrumental to the team's success. Adrien designed, built, programmed, and drove the robot throughout the competition—a remarkable accomplishment that reflects countless hours of hard work, problem-solving, and perseverance.

Congratulations to Adrien and the entire Fireweed Robotics team on representing Yukon with excellence on the national stage, and thank you again to Robotique FIRST Québec for the opportunity!
