This past week, the Ratchet Rockers had the opportunity to visit Alro Steel Corporation in Earth City MO, take tour of the facility, see their operations and demonstrate last year's robot for their employees. Alro has been a key supporter of our robotics program for many years and their sponsorship is a critical part of our success. We want to thank Amanda Perez, Patrick Wenstrup and the rest of the Alro team for being such gracious hosts and providing us with this opportunity. After the tour, we were able to demonstrate last year's robot, Whiplash, to leadership, inside sales and operations team members. The students really enjoy the opportunity to discuss and showcase the results of all of their hard work and how we utilize the materials that we source from Alro to build a robot.  #morethanrobots FIRST FIRST in Missouri
