#WhyIPrint Contest- Mountie Robotics
The Megabots FRC Robotics Team put together a video highlighting the many ways they use their 3D printers from Bambu Labs. With Bambu Labs hosting a video contest inviting participants to showcase their reasons for 3D printing, the team took the opportunity to submit an entry. They earned an impressive spot in the top 10 out of 553 submissions.
Congratulations!

The winning poems will be published in a booklet, which is added to the library collection, and they have an awards ceremony in May to honor their winners.
