Gear Masters (FTC #10348)

Gear Masters (FTC #10348)

Starting in 2015, several members of Gear Girls and Gear Guys formed Gear Masters, a FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) team. They made it to the finals at their first qualifying event, but just missed out on a spot at the Regional Championship. Since then, they have made it to the AZ/NM Regional Championship each year. They have won many awards along the way, including the 1st Place Inspire Award at the 2019 Albuquerque Qualifier. In April 2019 they got a special invitation to compete at the FIRST World Championship in Houston, TX. This year, they earned the 2nd Place Inspire Award at the NM Championship, and an invitation to compete again at the World Championship in Houston. They're happy to have the opportunity to represent New Mexico at this prestigious event!
