BotsIQ

Saturday evening, a plumbing issue several floors above us caused a major flood that poured straight through the #BotsIQ Training & Education Center. Ceilings, walls, and floors all took a hit—but thanks to the fast response from AHN’s remediation team, the water is cleaned up and the space is sanitized. Repairs are underway, and while the shop might look a little rough around the edges, all programs are continuing as scheduled. We appreciate everyone’s patience and support as we dry out and reset!

Day one of #BotsIQ Finals at PennWest California is in the books! Congratulations to all of the teams today! A special shout out to Bedford Area High School Team 1 - Ronald Wreckin for coming out on top. Battles continue tomorrow with Opening Ceremony at 8:45. Tune in at https://lnkd.in/e7CQnWE3.
