Submitted by amy.ewell on

We had 24 students and 2 FIRST alumni show up for the FIRST Robotics RAPID REACT kickoff at ALC Saturday morning!  Waffles, fruit, drinks, and syrup got everyone in the mood (sugared up) for the 2022 Kickoff!  Several other students were not able to attend but watched the game reveal at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgniEjI9cCM

The team spent three hours reading the game manual, discussing play strategies, and shooting the Cargo balls at a makeshift upper goal.
