Justin participated in a Lego Robotics team at school that met every Wednesday for 2 1/2 hours. This is Justin's team that competed at the Clackamas County level to see if they could make it to the state competition. The requirements were that Justin and his team were to program a robot that they built to do specific tasks that were outlined in the competition rules. The tasks were simple, such as moving in a large arc, stopping at the right spot, then either dumping a load, or picking up an object, then returning to the base. Their team anxiously watched the scoreboard all day and were so sure they had won 3rd place and a spot to compete at the state level. They did not take into consideration the technical judging that weighed quite heavily on the scores. Overall, Justin's team took the award for the Robot Competition and will not go to state. Here the team relaxes between judging.
Here Justin and his best friend Trevor (right) exit the technical judging area.
The team prepares their robot for competition at the table shown on the left. This was during set-up, because during the actual competition rounds there were to be no pictures taken.
Here is the team after winning the Robot portion of the competition.
Justin gets his turn at holding the trophy. Overall- it was a great experience and Justin is considering trying again next year.
