Last year i was in the 8th grade, but i was a major contributer to the robot. I wasnt really outgoing because i was just their to help out, so i would always stay on task. I thought it was over on the ship date, but the teacher invited me to the compititions that we were attending. I was the second operator, and a senior was the main driver, because of his seniority on the team and in age. When we were invited to the nationals, the whole team was very happy. On the flight there, i realized that our main driver wasnt with us, and it turned out his mom didnt want him traveling anymore. So i was deemed driver, and the teacher told me the strategy on the way their. This year i am the driver, although i havent been on the team longest

this year the challenge for driver was in a written test, about the game, how to controll it, and what do do when problems occour.
Then there was going to be a drive-off between me and 2 others, but one had to go to colorado, so he lost his chance. we never really had a drive-off because we were trying to get an autonomous program. The other driver decided she would be better off being a stratagist in the driving station.
