Looking slick!! See you next month!

[TikiTech]

Thanks for the kind words. This is by far our strongest robot to date.

Looking forward to the Hawaii Regional and seeing your team there.

I will stop by your pit and say Hi as time permits. Since I am the "pit boss" that shouldn't be too hard to wander that way!

Good luck!

Very clean looking robot. I love how you actually had a student describe part of the robot during the video, I think more teams should follow this example.

[TikiTech]

Thank you so much. Our students do like their robot and know it well. It shows when you talk with them.
We do many divergent thinking games that really help with them with presentation skills. Plus with our year round outreach programs, by this time of the year the students would rather "talk story" then show videos..
So when we talked about making a reveal video, all the students made segments..

There will be more student reveal segments in the long reveal coming soon. We had to crate the tools and the bagged robot for pickup tomorrow so the new video didn't quite finished.

Have a great season!
Aloha
