Day 90 in 2024

Day three (the final day) of competition two: what a great day! All those judge talks paid off—we won the Innovation in Controls award, which rewards the team with the best and most creative coding for drive controls.

Plus we finished qualifications in second place, captained the second alliance, went undefeated in playoffs, finishing with an even record against the first alliance, but unfortunately lost the best of three finals matches to them to come in second.

Second is great! And we're headed to States next weekend.

Day two of competition two: sitting pretty! We were visited by judges twice who listened to Calvin explain teh coding and the math (linear algebra) that went into creating our game play and the multitude of fine tuned robot controls.

We've held three of the four high scores and ended the day in third place!

Coding, coding, coding—it is fascinating and awesome to watch these kids (my kid) work. This mentoring gig is the best.
