Team 3939 was founded in 2011 to continue the excitement of our long-time FIRST Lego League teams. We are located in Botetourt County, Virginia, and serve middle and high school students from all schools in the county. Through our involvement in FRC and FLL, the goal is to inspire our team members and the community to be leaders in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). We are fortunate to have mentors from various disciplines and areas of expertise, including teaching, engineering (mechanical, robotics, electrical), computer science, and business leaders, among others. Our goal is to increase interest in science and technology in our schools and throughout Southwest Virginia. Most of our members are veterans of our FLL teams that are hosted at both middle schools. Our FRC team members mentor our FLL teams and continue the relationship that started for many of us in the 6th grade!
A few of our team members joined Botetourt County 4-H during their presentation to the Botetourt County Public Schools board meeting. Teammate Ethan gave a brief synopsis of the team, their Gracious Professionalism award, and stats coming out of regionals.
Precision Steel let us take a tour of their facility and made a custom piece for our robot. Precision Steel has been a long-time sponsor of the team. Jeff and Vicki Amos are the owners of Precision Steel and gave us our tour. A big thanks to Precision Steel and all of their workers.
Team members volunteered as Field Reset Crew and Scorers – team mentors helped to queue robots and even acted as Referee. We have next year’s event on our calendar already – Infinite Recharge at the Blue Ridge Brawl!
