About

Team History

The team was founded in 2015 by Luis Garza, an alumni and former teacher at Don Bosco Technical Institute. With a group of devoted students, he formed the first iteration of the team which debuted at the 2015 Los Angeles Regional and ranked 30th out of 66 teams. He devised a plan that would guarantee the teams improvement over the course of 5 years, eventually leading them to participate in a Regional Final. In three years we achieved this goal and a year later we went even further.
