FIRST Robotics KC Regional

This past week the Chief had to prepare and then travel to Kansas City for a F.I.R.S.T. (see above link!) Robotics competition as coach of the robotics team at the Flandreau Indian School.

There were 42 teams at the event, and while our outcome in the competition standings wasn’t high, the efforts of the 4 female students of the team was recognized in the form of the Judge’s Award – designed to recognize what was considered to be an extraordinary effort and circumstance of a team that needed to be noted, but didn’t fall under any of the other categories of awards.

It’s a credit to the students, and their efforts during the robot build period, and in the competition event itself.

With this season completed, blogging will be more regular than it’s been since the robot build “season”, etc. over.

THe next blog project is to shift from MovableType to a WordPress server. That should be a big improvement – once it takes place.
