Axel's first robotics 

programming the next challenge  

The team name

Long term challenge

 The long term challenge is the programming they have been working on all session.  You had to move all objects out of the blue lines and then land the robot in the green center.  Axel's group cleared all objects and ended in the green square in 37 seconds.  They got to do the 'run' 3-4 times. His team got 3rd place for his timing- out of over 100 groups!  Very interesting to watch.  I've learned a lot!

The Robot

Short term challenge 

 Short term challenge was a new program that each team had 40 mins to work on.  This time it was like bowling- had to clear as many pegs down as possible. Man it was fun to learn about robotics this year!  Axel was picked for the group and I think he will want to try again next year.  He's already talking about what it will take to get into MIT.  Here's hoping kid!!!
