We are proud to relate Cistercian’s Robotics Team, Fusion Corps’ recent successes in the FIRST in Texas Plano District event last weekend. After competing consistently in their qualification matches, the team placed second, captaining a playoff alliance and working their way to the Final matches—before ultimately falling to an alliance featuring two former world champion teams. The Plano judges awarded Fusion Corps the Xerox Creativity Award—a notable prize celebrating the team’s engineering and problem solving prowess. They are currently ranked #15 out of 162 teams from the Texas/New Mexico region who have competed so far this season.
