MSBR Impacts in the Community

Powering the future of STEM

We would like to thank you for your gracious donation during the 2022 season. Your contributions have allowed us to design and create "Hyacinth," our competition robot for this year's FRC game: "Rapid React." We are pleased to report that we had a fantastic start to our season, taking home first place at both of our district events. None of this would have been possible without your support. Out of over 100 local teams, we are currently placed 6th in the FRC Chesapeake District, and have qualified for the District Championships. We would love it if you joined us for this event at the Hampton Coliseum in Virginia from April 6th to 9th.
