Lane at the CPS FRC meeting at Northwestern University

The Lane Tech, Northside College Prep, and Whitney Young FRC teams met with a panel of Northwestern University Professors, PhD candidates and FIRST Robotics Representatives last night.  Each team presented for about 20 minutes highlighting their designs and strategies as well as demoing their working prototypes.

Lane's team was given valuable feedback that will give them an advantage for the remainder of the build season.  Their hard work is leading them in the right direction!v We are really proud of their progress.
