John,
You have done another great blog post. I enjoyed hearing about your team's hard-work and fun, especially operation playhouse. I look forward to the full story, I can't believe I missed seeing that. 118 was just around the corner from us.

I am sorry to hear how low the lows were. I can't believe judges had the nerve to make such horrible comments. They were completely ignoring your students. This is exactly the worst thing a judge can do, making up their minds before hearing all the facts. Judges are suppose to be open to knowledge and make informed decisions.

Your team has been inspirational to us. If you had posters of your robot as a give away, our team would totally grab as many we could and plaster them on our walls. We even tried a little sheet metal this year. Just a small amount for sensors and made the mini-bot using a break. I look forward to what 148 cooks up next year.
