Scimmages this past weekend

[RoboMom]

We had the full NASA Goddard field set up at McKinley High in Washington DC and about half of the 40 teams expected were able to show. The mid-Atlanta area is still recovering from snow/ice, 3+ of days school closures, so many teams stayed home to try to catch up.

It was great to see all the teams there. I love this pre-ship event "playday" every year, because once you get more than robot on the field, things become clearer where some of the challenges are going to be!
And there are so many tubes!
And they are everywhere-under ramps, under robots, popping everywhere, and some even make it to the rack
And the entire arena broke into applause when that first robot climbed that first robot ramp.
