Smokin' Motors graduated our first generation (Ingrid, Steph, and Austin) the last 2 years. I am proud that they are all volunteering for FIRST even with challenging college schedules. They won a lot of awards and tournaments but seeing them at most of the PA qualifiers, State Championship, and Northeast Super Regional is the best!

Now meet the next generation: Colin, Will, Luke, and James. They are all in 8th and 9th grade and already smokin those motors! (2 at their first qualifier). Our new picture for our page shows the new team and most of our coaches, mentors, and alumni.

Today was AMAZING. Jim had his own goal for us to break the 500 point barrier, but Austin had his goal of breaking the world record. We had more than 4 matches with over 500 points, 2 of which were over 600! 633 points before penalties!

We are ecstatic to have been in 1st place and ultimately winning alliance captain and honored to have been the first place Inspire award winners. Thanks to all of the teams and volunteers for making today awesome.

(Still waiting to hear about that world high-score...)

WOW! What a day it's been. Congratulations to all teams and thank you all volunteers! We are happy to have finally, truly given back to our FIRST family by putting on a qualifying tournament. It was a blast!

We'll see you all in York, then in Pittsburgh. :)

Wow, what a day! The competition was fierce, and all were absolutely fantastic. PA has some new high scores, with a stunning 400-flat no-penalty match! We were excited for the chance to assist Dave with running the fields once more. Congratulations to all!

Thank you to everybody for making today great! We had a wonderful experience, especially with team MOE 365 FTC in finals. We are starting this year strong! Winning alliance, Inspire runners-up and Rockwell Collins Innovate winners; we can say today was a good day.
