TechFire, York’s premiere competitive robotics team set the district on fire when it received two prestigious awards at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Qualifier of the FIRST Robotics Competition in Montgomery, New Jersey on March 25.  Combining the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology, the FIRST Robotics Competition is the ultimate sport for the mind.

For its unique robot design, TechFire  was awarded the Industrial Design Award. Sponsored by General Motors, this award celebrates form and function in an efficiently designed machine that effectively addresses the FIRST Robotics POWER UP game challenge.

Along with its alliance partners, Team 25 Raider Robotix of North Brunswick, New Jersey, and Team 5992 the Pirates from Seton Hall Prep in West Orange, New Jersey, Team 225 TechFire competed throughout the weekend and battled through the playoff rounds to win the District Event.
​

Winning the event qualifies all three teams to compete at the FIRST Mid-Atlantic District Championship Sponsored by Johnson & Johnson on April 4 - 7 at Lehigh University’s Stabler Arena. Winning teams will then move on to the FIRST World Championships on April 25 - 28 in Detroit, MI.
