FIRST FLL World Championship@Detroit

April 25 - 28, 2018, 

Detroit, MI

Team Hydro Mechanics attended the FLL championship in Detroit! Thank you for all the people that helped supporting our team to attend this amazing event. It was an exciting yet humbling experience to compete against some of the best teams from around the world! 

Our kids enjoyed the most from meeting like minded robotics enthusiasts from all different states and countries, and checking out the larger robot competitions of the FTC and FRC teams inspired our teams to continue pursuit with their passion for Robotics!
