                        Wednesday, June 15, 2022

  Ms. VAN DUYNE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Fusion 
Corps, Cistercian Preparatory School's Robotics Team from Irving, Texas 
for their incredible accomplishment earlier this year.
  The Fusion Corps won the top prize in the FIRST Robotics Competition 
World Championship in Houston, Texas, which featured 456 teams from 12 
countries and 43 U.S. states.
  Since 1991, this competition has tested students from across the 
world on who can build the best industrialsized robot. This group of 
young North Texas minds proved to the world that our community harbors 
the kind of unmatched talent and innovation it takes to be the best.
  Fusion Corps' robot, Resilience, was a testament to the many 
challenges the team overcame to bring home their school's first-ever 
world championship. Despite many setbacks and limited resources, the 
students' passion and dedication brought them success.
  I thank Fusion Corps for representing our North Texan community well 
on the global stage. They have made us all back home incredibly proud.
