Congratulations to the GHS Robotics Team

A huge congratulations to First Robotics Team 172, the Northern Force, for an incredible 2024 season to date! Our students' dedication and hard work have not only secured them the 26th position at this week's New England District Championships but also led them to recent competition victories! At this past weekend’s UNH District Event, they snagged both the District FIRST Impact Award, the highest award a team can achieve in the league, and they became a District Competition Winner. But that's not all! The Northern Force shattered a 27-year streak, the second-longest in FRC history, without a District Winner Banner! This year’s robot is ranked in the top 25% world-wide according to Statbotics.io heading into the five-day NE championships.
