Absolute Zero Regional Champs!

Absolute Zero worked super hard this season and was able to obtain the title of Division 2 Overall Champions at the Regional FLL Robotics tournament in Martinsville, Virginia.  

Team Work makes the Dream Work!


We had the highest score in Robot Games with 330, and the second-highest in the Regional Competition (Division 1 posted a 340!!). 

We are headed to state in Harrisonburg, Virginia! We are excited to be competing for the State title.

GO ABSOLUTE ZERO!!!!

Team Bonding



Absolute Zero is a very close-knit team, almost like family! 
Throughout our season we had many opportunities to bond and spend quality time with one another. These stress-free nights were full of laughs, dancing, and fun. 

Some of our best memories are from these team nights. 
  • Spending time playing games
  • Roasting S'mores
  • Carving pumpkins
  • Eating flaming hot Cheetos
  • Doing trust challenges. 
Our team grew tremendously through these special moments. Just when we thought our team couldn't get any closer, we found more reasons to connect.

These team nights allowed us to use our core values in real life. 

We even had to use those teamwork and core value skills to find Nayti's cellphone out in the dark woods one night! 

Team nights were amazing and it will be one of the things that we will miss most once the season is over!
