The FRC Robotics team is getting ready for a new season, and we are switching to a swerve drive, which will allow our robot to have greater maneuverability and faster speeds, enabling side to side motion. 

We have started to assemble the new swerve drives from Swerve Drive Specialties, shown in the picture. Huge thanks go to Ethan Krupka '23, Patrick Johnson '23, Luke Pokojni '24, Alina Gangji '23, Alex Mayer '23, Zander Ritchey '24, Sebastian Malaver '24, Nikhil Skandan '26, Logan Brown '26 and Nate Mette '26 for their help in assembling the drives!  The robotics season officially opens in January, so anyone interested in joining the team or robotics activity should contact [Dr. Lawlis](mailto:jlawlis@mamail.net) or [Ms. Cesco-Cancian](mailto:lcescocancian@mamail.net).
