                         Monday, June 24, 2019

  Mr. LUETKEMEYER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to ask my colleagues to 
join me in congratulating the Camdenton LASER 3284 robotics team on 
their great success at the 2019 FIRST Robotics World Championship.
  For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST) 
Robotics Competition is held each year for robotics teams around the 
country to compete and display their ingenuity. Camdenton LASER 3284 
has competed in this competition since 2010, and every year the team 
has taken home numerous awards for their work and team spirit. This 
year, the team built a 125-pound robot, named Decennium, stemming from 
the Latin root ``dec,'' to commemorate their 10th year of competition.
  Decennium competed in the Deep Space FIRST Competition. The robot 
exemplified the team's creativity and bright innovation, making the 
quarterfinals in their division, bringing home the World Championship 
division Underwriter Laboratory Safety award for the third consecutive 
year, and receiving the highly esteemed Engineering Inspiration Award. 
This award is given to the team that most demonstrates outstanding 
success in advancing the respect and appreciation of engineering within 
the team's school, community and beyond.
  Camdenton LASER 3284 team is no stranger to hard work, building 
community, and team pride. This is evident in the history of the team's 
achievements, and this year because of their great success they have 
prequalified for the World Championship in 2020.
  Madam Speaker, I ask you to join me in congratulating the members of 
Camdenton LASER 3284 team, Maya, Vanessa, Zane and Nick for a job well 
done.
