On Monday we did our final robot runs before going to Atlanta – out of ten runs, there were ten perfect scores! We tested the alcohol wipes on the robot’s wheels and they worked great. We also built the travel kit of spare parts to take with us.

On Friday the team went to PS7 to do a demonstration for the 4th, 5th, and 6th graders.  I thought it was a lot of fun to see the kids faces when they say the robot run the missions.  

 Friday, we went to PS7 (Public School 7)  and presented to the 4th, 5th, and 6th grades.  We showed them our presentation, gave them a quick demonstration of the table, then we did a run.  It got a little boring after the second time, but it was really cool to see the kid's faces light up when they saw the table and the robot doing its missions.

Well when we arrived at the Capitol or the block that it was on, trying to find a parking spot in the parking complex was kind of crazy,  the roof seemed to be to low in some spots... lol... but we finally found a spot on the top floor. Then we took the elevator down and started to walk towards the Capitol.

In the last few meetings I have been helping by building some of the robots from NXTprograms.com
Also we have been praticing on our table and presentation and have built our pit table board that explains were we are from.
