Kyle Costa and Nico Peach are members of First Robotics Competition Team 7153, known as The Aetos Dios, joins us live from the Travelers Championship in Cromwell. The team builds and programs a robot every year to compete in challenging regional and world events. This season, they placed second in their district and earned five medals, marking one of their best years ever. Their robot, named Barnacle, could perform tasks like placing tubes on different reef levels and climbing a cage during the endgame, all built from scratch in just six weeks.
First Robotics Team 7153 depends on community support to cover costs like materials, competition fees, and travel. Through Birdies for Charity, every dollar donated earns an additional 15 cents from Webster Bank.
