Okay...so a while back a person commented on our blog from China. We corresponded with them via email and they were interested in how our robot worked more. So for those of you who wanted to see our robot more in-depth, we created a video for you!

The Ohio State Tournament in Dayton, Ohio

In February, our team attended the Ohio State Championship for FLL in Dayton, Ohio. The tournament was held at the Ervin J. Nutter center at Wright State University and was sponsored by Wright Patt Air Force Base. We had a lot of fun and did okay. Our presentations went very well, but our robot didn't do what we wanted it to. We made a lot of changes to it in between regional and state, and we just couldn't complete them all in the time we had. Although we didn't win anything, we had a blast and had a lot of fun showing others our cool robot.

Here is a picture of the opening ceremonies.

This is our team preparing for one of our presentations the first day.

These are various pictures from our robot's table times.

Overall, we had a lot of fun over the weekend and really enjoyed showing our robot to others and seeing what others have done.

Tournament Day!!!

Our regional tournament was on December 6th and was a lot of fun. Our team did extremely well placing first overall and first in robot performance. We won the 1st place champions award and the 1st place robot performance award. We also got the title/award of ambassador for the Cleveland area. Because we won first place, we will advance to Dayton, Ohio for the state tournament.

After the tournament we had a team meeting and have decided to keep the robot we have but modify it. We would like to make it smaller and more reliable. Making it smaller and more reliable might allow us to score higher at the state tournament (we think).
