#TheGreenTeam
Starting in 2018, Reach Robotics moved on to the next phase developing our brand identity. We realized at competitions that the t-shirt was not enough to help us distinguish ourselves and that our Eaton High School green was easy to pick out of a crowd! So, under the leadership of then C.E.O. Tori Gonzales, we embraced our Eagle heritage and designed our new uniforms!
When members first join the team, they have 3 options to choose from: overalls, coveralls, or long lab coat. Whichever you choose, buy white, 100% cotton and follow the dying instructions below.
