History

Our team was founded in 2004 by Dave, Ryan Owen, as well as Lee Johnson. We first worked out of a building located at Lake Tech. We placed 4th in the 2006 Florida Regional. Our team then moved to the basement of Impacting Words Church. We are now located in the Lake Eustis Foundation Building and had our most successful year ever. We placed 11th at the 2009 Florida Regional and also won the Chairman’s Award, the most prestigious award FIRST bestows. Our programming team was awarded the Rockwell Automation Innovation In Control Award. We proceeded to compete in the National Championships in Atlanta, Georgia.

The Blue Alliance has some good information on their site. You can find out more about our event and award history at the 12 Volt Bolt – Team 1557 History Page.
