2 MORE WEEKS (and four days)!!!!!!!!!

I'm excited that competition is coming up as I'm sure everyone else is too. The last team meeting went great with a lot of building getting done. We also did more building, and more building, and, more... LOTS of building. The team is putting the finishing touches on the robot and a few last minute ideas have come up. I'm sure we'll be prepared for competition when it comes around in two weeks and four days (that's how far away it is, right?)!

Heyyyy it's Sam and today I learned a lot more about the FCS ( Field Control System) and more about the LABView program. I think it's really cool now that I understand it better.

Our FLL encounter

We had some of the members of the FLL team from Smith Road Elementary come to our last meeting to test us and help prepare us for our judge interview. It was cool getting to show them what we are doing even though we couldn't get the robot up and running. They had lots of good questions and it helped us to find good way to communicate our methods and get over our stage fright.

The younger kids really seemed to like our bigger robot. We talked to them about join FTC when they come to the junior high. I think they will because they really liked our stuff.

After the FLL team left we brainstormed on things we might be able to do better when it comes to answering questions. I am thankful that we had the chance to work on our speaking skills and get younger kids interested in FTC. I wish I had know about it when I was younger too.

We promised that we would invite them to our press event when we unveil our fully functional robot. That's gonna be so cool!


Thanks again to SRE FLL!
