Team United States

We are Schrödinger’s Hat, a high-school robotics team from Fairbanks, Alaska. We’ve been involved in FIRST robotics programs for more than 7 years, competing in FIRST LEGO League, FIRST Tech Challenge, and FIRST Robotics Competition. In 2015 we were honored to receive the Inspire Award — the most prestigious award in FIRST Tech Challenge — at the World Championship! In 2016 we were part of the Finalist Alliance at the World Championship, and Colleen was also named a FIRST Dean’s List recipient, recognizing her extensive outreach and leadership in the FIRST community. We love meeting and working with other teams from around the world and are so excited to be a part of the inaugural FIRST Global competition!

We are a small team with only a few members. Colleen and Katie are both responsible for robot design, fabrication, documentation, and outreach. Colleen is also primarily responsible for CAD and visual media. Katie is the programmer and business lead.

We are honored to be representing the US in this competition, and we are both looking forward to meeting all of the teams involved in FIRST Global!
