From March 27th to the 29th, Laser Robotics attended the Phantom Lakes Regional at Mukwanago High School. This was the first of two competitions we competed in during the 2025 season. While there, we met teams from not only southeastern Wisconsin, but also Taiwan, Türkyie, and India. We competed with 39 teams, and ended up at Rank 17, placing us as backup #1 after alliance selection.

While there, we also entered into the competition for 2 awards: Impact and Dean’s List. The Impact Award is given based on a team’s impact within their local community. For this, we focused on our involvement in community events in the Wales/Dousman area, school events, and Laser Lights. The Dean’s List Award is given to an individual student, not a team, for their contributions to their team, community, and spreading of FIRST’s values. Laser Robotics voted to nominate Finn O. for the award.
