FLL Showcase


      Last Saturday we went to an FLL Showcase.  Our team took first in robot runs!  Our best score was 442 points.  It was a lot of fun to see all of the other teams compete.  A team we previously mentored, The Metro East Builders, won the Robot Design Award and finished third in robot runs!  Our Project, Core Values, and Technical judgings all went well too.

            Tonight we worked on the robot and we also made a diagram of our hybrid airship round trip. Also, we did several outreaches in the past few weeks to the O'Fallon Rotary Club (there is a video of one of our demonstrations above), the Mascoutah Lions Club, and the Webster Grove's Missouri Lions Club.
