DUBAI, 25th October, 2019 (WAM) — 17-year-old Abigail Herrera and her four other teammates known as Root Negative One, are representing the United States after having won the top honors at the FIRST Tech Challenge World Championships in Houston – known as the Inspire Award. Having been recognised for their excellence in engineering design, community engagement and innovation at that event, the team is confident about its chances in the FIRST Global Challenge in Dubai.

Team USA has been working since late June to ensure complete familiarity with their engineering design process. They started with the prototyping before anything was assembled and carefully digitized their plan leveraging computer aided design.
