Freeland Fabricators
The Freeland Middle School robotics team, FTC 5386 Freeland Fabricators, competed in the First Tech Challenge State Championship in Battle Creek over the weekend. They finished the qualifying rounds in fifth place and were the Team Captain for the Third Alliance in the playoffs. They competed very well but came up a little short, falling in the semi-final round. The team was also a Finalist for the Think Award. Congratulations on a great season and we look forward to next year!
