On December 20th, Eagle Robotics had the wonderful opportunity to tour the ID3 Group facility, which is a part of Exploring, Inc. This incredible company pulls together various manufacturing techniques to create everything from visually stunning wall art to functioning and innovative exposition displays. Having the opportunity to see these processes first hand on ID3’s Dreambuilder Tour left all members of Eagle Robotics in awe.

The most compelling part of the ID3 Group’s operation was how departments in every area from graphic design to 3D modeling to painting come together to create a spectacular finished product. The team was able to benefit greatly from seeing the products of impeccable communication. At the end of the tour, all team members were given the official Eagle Robotics logo cutout which was produced in house for the team members to watch! Thank you so much to Mr. Walens and the incredible people at the ID3 Group facility - you are all incredible and we enjoyed learning from you!

Team 11364 had a successful day at the final League Meet in Cartersville! They won 3 of their matches and had the opportunity to complete a match that scored 89 points in an epic partnership with team 7373.
