FIRST is a really amazing experience.

I just want to point out for those who don't do FTC how good they were. Here is a link to a summary of all their matches: https://ftcscout.org/teams/8405. Their top OPR (offensive power rating - a.k.a how many points they contributed per match) of 112 is really good. That puts them at 20th among teams who started this year out of nearly 1900 teams. (Although technically the team is older but it sounds like it had all new members.)

Here you can see all their events and how they ranked among all teams: https://ftcscout.org/records/2022/teams?filter=%7B%22all%22%...
