Hartford 2024

They Iron Lions performed very well and were selected to be on the alliance of one of the top teams.

The Iron Lions also played well but were beaten by the first-place team.

Waterbury 2024

The Iron Lions also had an amazing performance at the Waterbury Robotics tournament. Competing against 32 other exceptional teams, the Lions ended the first day in 6th place. After more qualifying rounds on the second day the team, for the first time in its history, qualified in the top 8 and were therefore able to choose their own alliance. In the picture our team captain Joe Quinn attending Captains' meeting. They did well in the two semi-final matches but did not advance to the final rounds. With the points earned at both Harford, where we chosen for an alliance, and at Waterbury, the team is well placed in the district and could still make the regional competition in April.
