Field notes
The team connects its clock-and-gear steampunk theme to the name The Countdown, and describes itself as an after-school class team that meets with two sister teams. Its outreach spans competition hosting and practical mentoring in 3D printing, CAD, and judge preparation. The homepage says BioBuzz remains on the drafting table, making the build a visible next step rather than a completed robot.
