FLL Robotics Competition

A few weeks ago, Emily and her school robotics team competed at the FLL Robotics Competition.  There are "small" competitions around the state over two weeks (about 15-20 school at each) where teams compete for the chance to go to states.  The competition is about more than just robots - there is a "problem" that each team needs to solve, a presentation to a panel of judges, and a core project that every team is surprised with and must work through.  The top six teams move on to states.  Emily's team finished eighth overall, which its the best finish the school has ever had.  She has really enjoyed being on the team, including going to practice 15 out of 18 days in a row.
