Two of the Sharon Eagle FVC teams, the Unlimited (FVC 13) and
the AngelBots (FVC 44), were at the FIRST Boston FRC Regional on Saturday, March
25th to demonstrate and promote the FIRST Vex Challenge (and the FIRST LEGO
League as well, as it turned out). We were joined by FVC team 92 (Rosie's
Little Sister, associated with FRC team 839 - Rosie Robotics) and FVC team 276 (Smashing Lightbulb,
associated with FRC team 571 - Team Paragon).
This inaugural Boston FRC tournament was awesome, and a great
day was had by all!
