What makes Frostbite unique...

The team created Frostbite in their weekly after school Technology Club, and it cost them under £500. Though it is untested within the arena, the team insist it has actually been tested around school, which can be noted by the damaged school furniture. The boys have been very involved in the weekly club, and are consistently working on new projects and challenges, such as Vex Robotics and Greenpower Electric Car Racing. Recently they held driving practice to see who was the most skilled in preparation for the competition.
