On February 27th, the LigerBots partnered with Chop Shop to host the Impact Exchange at the Granite State Competition, in Salem NH. The FIRST Impact Award is the most prestigious award at FIRST. It honors the team that best represents a model for other teams to emulate and best embodies the mission of FIRST.

This event was a wonderful opportunity to collaborate and share information with other FRC teams. Those teams competing for the Award had the chance to present their Impact Presentation and receive valuable feedback from their teammates and other teams. The goal being to change and improve upon the presentation before the time came to go before the impact judges.

The teams that attended were: Wire Clippers (5902), The Highlanders (6201), Aluminum Panthers (9443), The LigerBots (us! 2877), and Team Phoenix, who also ended up winning the Impact Award at Granite State.

The LigerBots are hosting another Impact Exchange and will compete again for the Impact Award at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) Competition on March 22-23.
