Whew! What a day that was! Our robotics competition was in Mountain Home, AR. We spent all day there performing our project, talking to judges, and running our robot program.
Us waiting....
Zeke and Joy at the game board. They did a great job programing and building the robot! At the competition, you have three tries on the board. The judges then took your highest score for ranking. There were some problems on the first two of our runs. Our scores were 65 and 79. I should mention that the scoring depends on the things that accomplish on the board. If you can bring the pizza back to base, you get 7 points and so on. Our Rolla red team's first score was 152. :-) Before the third round, Zeke and Joy had about an hour to work on the robot. We were hoping for the score of 130, to put us in third place. The Rolla green team was in second, and the red team was in first. We were also the last team to do our run. The robot only messed up one little bit and we were so glad! Hoping for third, we were absolutely surprised when we received the score of 140! Putting us in Second. :-)
For their project, the red team had chicken hats and the green team had cheese hats. We were asked "Where is your hat?". The red team ended up being the champions of the tournament. The green team received first place for Core Values. The blue team was a finalist in about three different things. And all of our teams qualified to go on to state! Way to go, everyone! :-D
