We are one of three FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) Robotics Teams from Natick High School in Massachusetts, but compete individually. Our name was inspired by Henry Haugland, who had served as a close friend and mentor to the Natick Robotics team before we joined FTC. After enrolling, we named the team after him in honor of his years of support. Recently, we have been fairly successful. In the 2013-2014 season, we advanced to the FTC East Super Regionals, but did not continue on. During the 2014-2015 season, we reached States, but lost during the semifinals without advancing. Last year, we won the Think Award at States, allowing us to advance to Super Regionals once again! Unfortunately, we were not able to advance past Super Regionals last year, but made it to the FIRST Championship this year, and had a ton of fun!
