Team 254E

General Information
Founded in the 2008-2009 Elevation Season, Team 254E first appeared at the Bellarmine Bay Area tournament. Although both of its members had limited prior experience with robotics, neither had been associated with VEX beforehand.
Far exceeding expectations, 254E seeded third at its first tournament and reached the semi-finals. 254E later won the SIATech regional, qualifying it for the World Championships in Dallas, where it reached the divisional semi-finals.
Dead micro-controllers are the bane of this team's existence.
Please refer to the main 254 page for more general team history, sponsors, and links to our other teams.
