Team Accomplishments
FIRST® Team 79 Krunch has earned numerous awards and recognitions at our competitions throughout the years for which we are proud; however, our greatest accomplishment is when the perception about STEM is changed in our society.
Our team was also awarded the Hunter’s Humanitarian Award in November of 2005 by Lexington Homes, Inc. and the AmeriLex Foundation for our work in the design and construction of a robotics-themed bedroom for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. We worked with an agency of Homeland Security to improve upon existing SWAT capabilities by designing a robot with new technologies that has the potential to favorably impact national security by reducing human exposure in hazardous situations, and we also partnered with MITRE Corporation, Kettering University, FIRST® Robotics, and CTEF to work on an underwater robotic system.
