Our team is a community team comprised of 4 returning members and 4 new members. We have gathered from across Tampa Bay and Pasco County to form the Flaming Paintballs; formerly known as the Battery Breakers. We took the FIRST Lego League by storm in 2023 with a bid to States and hope to continue this trend. Our team includes Alex, Sophia, Austin, Eliam, Lily, Connor, Lucas, and Landon.
