Congratulations to our Robotics Club for their successful performance in one of First Lego League’s qualifier tournaments this past Saturday. Team moderator and 5th/6th Class science teacher Mr. David Putnam reported that, not only did each of the 18 Academy participants exhibit great focus, enthusiasm, and grace under pressure, but each of the Academy’s three teams placed in the top six of all teams in the robot games portion of the competition. One Academy team—the Crazy Card Players—won awards for both their robot’s design and its performance in the robot games, and qualified for the Eastern Missouri Regional Competition in December. [In order to qualify, they had to be one of the top four teams out of the 24 that competed. To be one of the top four teams, they had to be near or at the top in each of four areas: robot games, robot design presentation, team exercises, and a presentation on an engineering solution to a problem of their choosing.]
Way to go, ASH Robotics!
