💡Imagine building a competition-ready robot in just 24 hours with minimal knowledge of the game and limited experience with a robotics kit. That was the reality for Team 22935A, Galactic Einsteins, who traveled from Worcester, South Africa, to Worcester, MA, coincidently to compete at the WAVE at @WPI Signature Event. Despite the challenge, they embraced the engineering design process, pushing their skills to the limit. Learn more about this amazing event and competitors: https://bit.ly/3WQyKYd 🤖
