Now that was fun!
Two days of non-stop robot action. Hundreds of excited middle school students (and since Northrop Grumman donated shirts for all the teams and volunteers-hundreds of middle school students all wearing the same blue shirt which matched the blue bins for every team-quite the visual!!!) Great judges, dozens of awards, and some innovative robots. Wonderful volunteers including the loyal group from Maryland; those who traveled from out of state including from DC, PA, MA and CT (and VA-sorry Blake!!); Team 1727-REX; and the Sparks 4-H VEX teams-all working to pull off a huge ambitious effort. Lots of TV and press coverage featuring great kids.
I was proud to be a part of it!
