I am not sure how many of you remember that when they compete they are judged on how well the robot performs, how well they work together as a team, they have to give a presentation on what they studied (this year it was global warming), they have to describe their robot and it's parts while being questioned......... it makes for a long, gruelling day, these kids are under pressure all day. If you look closely at their scores you will see that the first run wasn't so great(they run it three times, the best score is used), the light sensor wasn't working. My point is that under all that pressure and with the few things that happen, some good some bad, they as a team worked through everything and had a great time. I'm proud of them as a team and I am glad that Tayler has had this opportunity, it has been amazing to watch these kids the last three years. Thanks Sid and Dan for all the hard work and thank you Chan Hei for letting them take over your house every Friday and Saturday evening.
