2014-2015: Cascade Effect

In 2014, Woodbridge Robotics began participating in the FIRST Tech Challenge as 9040 Team Hope, led by Hope Lee. Members of Team Hope also included many concurrent members of Icosagon Robotics. The rookie season was a rocky start due to difficulties in coordinating meetings, and at the first ever qualifier (back in the yonder days of Qualifying Matches in SoCal FTC), the team placed 31st place. Although having some difficulties at first, 9040 Team Hope grew extensively through the season by not only team bonding but also via the help of the FIRST community. By the end of that rookie season, the team climbed up to 7th place and obtained the Motivate Award for its perseverance.
