On Saturday of President’s Day weekend we got up bright and early to drive to Auburn for the day so Maxwell and his teammates Forest could compete in the VEX State Robotics Competition. They had a 3rd teammate, Luke, but he unfortunately decided to go on a family trip that weekend instead of robotics.
We knew more of what to expect this year v. last year. The boys got their robot inspected…
completed their interview…
and then started the competitions! They had 9 different matches on the field and their robot did exactly what it was built to do each time! Can’t ask for better than that. There was some drama throughout the day with several teams getting disqualified for various things – the judges were being very strict.
Of course the spectators were good sports and found ways to entertain themselves over the 8 hours we were there!
The Gigachads ended up ranked 43 out of 75 teams. I’m very proud of them and I think they are proud of themselves! I love all that Maxwell has learned through the robotics program and glad we got to go to State again!
Mr. Roboto!
Great learning experience. Proud of him!
So proud of him!
