2007-2008: FIRST Overdrive
In a season of growth and success, we upgraded to a new location – the Allen Building. The leasing company for the building sponsored us, and with an increased machining equipment availability, we were able to access the workspace more often. Our team attended the Saint Louis Regional and the inaugural Minneapolis Regional competition. We took second place at the Minneapolis competition, becoming a Regional Finalist, and won the Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers Entrepreneurship Award.
