First Lego League Regionals
I coach the local middle school First Lego League. Last weekend the team competed in the regional competition where 18 teams fight for 8 tickets to the state finals. I was worried that we wouldn't do well since the regionals come very early in the season and we were quite under prepared. Add to that the quality of the other teams (last years defending world champion team would be there).
Well, the kids on the team really pulled together and did everything right. It was just great to see them rise to the occasion as a team. They were rewarded for their efforts with the second highest overall score for the day (as well as the programming trophy) and a ticket to the state tournament. Congratulations Spoink! Now back to work, there's only one month until the state tournament ...
Here's the team:
And here's an early version of the team's robot:
