I think I might have confused you here.
TrickFire originally competed in the NASA Lunabotics RMC (Robotics Mining Competition) from 2016 to 2021. TrickFire went to the Kennedy Space Center during the RMC. From 2021 to present time, we are competing in the URC (University Rover Challenge), which is hosted at the Mars Desert Research Station in Utah.
The mission statement should talk about how members get hands on education, real-world experience, collaboration, and so on. This section should quickly mention our RMC history as well as state that TrickFire is currently competing in the URC (which is different from the RMC!).
You can keep the bullet points as is.

We should add another sentence. The homepage feels too empty. Perhaps say that TrickFire competes in University-level competitions, with the NASA RMC in the past and the URC in the present.

This paragraph is confusing. It makes me think that both the RMC and URC only have 50 teams, which is not the case. The paragraph also continues to explain the rules of the NASA RMC, which I think is not needed.
Perhaps something like this? You might need to word smith this.
TrickFire Robotics has built rovers for the NASA Robotics Mining Competition (RMC) and the University Rover Challenge (URC).
The NASA RMC pitted fifty teams across the United States to construct a rover that is capable of mining through a simulated lunar surface.
The URC has over a hundred teams, both domestic and international, where a built rover has to be able to manipulate different objects, detect life, and operate autonomously.
In seven years, TrickFire has built four different rovers, with a fifth one being worked on.

Please especially review the mission statement and overview of rover section for inconsistencies.
