- Once again, we are so very proud of Singularity Technology, our FIRST Robotics team. They excelled at the season's first qualifying event in Waterbury, CT, winning the first-place Inspire award -- the biggest award FIRST Tech Challenge offers. Winning this award automatically moves a team to the next competition level; it supersedes victory in the elimination matches. Way to go Singularity Technology!
