Hey everyone, we are very excited to announce that we received a 95.7/100 on our URC SAR submission this year, the best our team has ever done! This was also the highest SAR score of all the submissions this year, making us the (unofficial) URC 2020 champs! Thank you to all of our sponsors and awesome team members who made this year a success.
