Our Season

In their rookie season, the Indiana Drones made an incredible impact, earning the prestigious Champion’s Award at qualifiers. This award recognizes the team that best embodies the FLL experience across all judging categories. The team continued their success at sectionals with the Robot Design Award, then capped off their amazing season by winning the Motivate Award at the Illinois State Championship!
