#paydirt2015 Team Shout Out: DeKalb County Technology Center

DeKalb County Technology Center is ready to compete! They have been part of the competition since Northeast Alabama BEST Robotics was established in 2012 and are always strong competitors. This year's coaching team of Tim Turner and Tim Barksdale will be formidable. We wish them the best in this year's competition!

#paydirt2015 Team Shout Out: Marshall Technical School

This is the team with the big target on their back--the team to beat if you want to go to Auburn. Marshall Technical School has been with Northeast Alabama BEST since its inception and actually competed in another hub prior to becoming part of our hub. They have been to South's BEST every year since 2011.

But they also help other teams to improve. Mr. Bruce is often found helping teachers and students improve their robots. We are excited for another year with Marshall Technical School to see what they can accomplish this year.

#paydirt2015 Team Shout Out: FUEL Homeschool Group

FUEL Homeschool Group is another first time team this year. We are pleased to welcome them as one of our first home school groups and look forward to seeing them compete this year and for many years to come.
