Team Inspiration first competed in RoboSub in 2019 with mostly middle school students, becoming world champion in 2020. This year's team consists of 1 middle school student, 6 high schoolers, 13 college students, and 2 industry professionals. Carrying momentum from placing 9th overall worldwide and 3rd in the US at RoboSub 2026, and 1st place for Website and 7th overall at RoboBoat 2026, we bring a strong technical foundation into RobotX this season.
