After falling to 64th place out of 67 teams in their division, The Iron Panthers (The Burlingame Robotics Team) was slightly discouraged, but they were able to make a glorious comeback, ending in 21st place in the Newton Division competition.

DATRON Lends a Hand to Robotics Team
DATRON’s California office was involved with the team, offering their high-speed machining equipment to help them make parts for their robot. Director of Technology, Chris Hopkins reflects, “We were happy to provide the tools these future engineers needed to get the job done and turn their winning design into reality. We congratulate them on their victory and wish each of them great success in the future.”

Robotics Champions Give DATRON the Thumbs Up!
The team coach and captains summed up their experience working with DATRON Dynamics in the following thank you note:
“We would like to thank DATRON so much for all the support we have received from you these past few years. Thank you for enabling us to have such a great robot by milling our drive base parts with your incredible machinery. We couldn’t have done this without you. Our team has worked extremely hard to win the final round in the Houston Championships, and we believe that our success is the embodiment of our hard work from your support. The road to winning the FIRST Robotics Competition was not easy, but you have helped our team greatly. Not only does your support allow our team to grow, but also flourish and achieve great things. Without your sponsorship, our team would have never been able to become this successful, and it was your team that enabled our accomplishments to happen.”
Sincerely,
Christina Wade – Robotics Coach
Darrion Chen & Katherine Mohr – Captains
