"This amazing team has achieved and excelled in the highest levels of competition winning the Engineering Inspiration Award at FIRST Long Island's regional competition this year...This accomplishment earned the Regal Eagles a place at the FIRST World Championships in Texas. In fact, they have earned entry to the FIRST World Championships in Texas for seven years in a row. This is a very rare achievement...We all depend on technology in so many ways whether it is in the car we drive, machinery that has to be operated, or that device that we operate every single day from our computers and our cell phones. We are so pleased that ground zero of technology advancement is right here in the Town of Oyster Bay at the hands of some of the most talented students anywhere in the country. You all put the Town of Oyster Bay on the map."
