"We just wanted to say thank you SO much for all of the time, effort and commitment you put into Robotics! After three years of my daughter participating in both your competitive and non-competitive Robotics teams, I have to say that this has been the single most influential and important extra-curricular activity during her middle school years." - Pacific Cascade Middle School Robotics team member parent
