The team finished 6th ranked in their division, earning them a trip to the World Championship! Wishing them the best of luck as they prepare for their event. If you would like to sponsor their trip to World Championship, contact FTC Coordinator, Debbie May at debbie.may@mybedford.us, or mail a check made to BJHS Robotics to Debbie May, Bedford Junior High school, 8405 Jackman Rd., Temperance, MI 48182. The team would appreciate any and all support. They will be joining the high school team in Detroit and both teams would love to see you there on April 25-28 at Cobo Hall!
