Summary

Beaver Island Community School’s FRC Team 6098, bIrobot, competed at the 2016 Michigan FRC championship and announced qualification for the FIRST World Championship in St. Louis. April school and team notices also published match schedules and reported a local hardware raffle that generated $1,300 from 37 tickets for team travel support. A May follow-up reported the team’s rookie-season finish at the FIRST Championship.
