TERROR BYTES - 2025

As our robotics team dove into this year’s FIRST Robotics Challenge, Reefscape, we sought a name that would reflect both the competition’s marine biology theme and someone who has made a significant impact on our education. With great admiration, we proudly named our 2025 robot "Ray 25" in honor of Carlson High School Science Teacher, Mr. Robert Raymond. Mr. Raymond’s passion for science and dedication to his students have inspired many of us, making this tribute especially meaningful. It is an honor to recognize him in this way, as his influence extends beyond the classroom and into our team’s success. Thank you for all that you do, Mr. Raymond—this year’s robot is named for you! #WeRollAsOne
