Robotics

Seth joined the Robotics club this year. They start from scratch using legos and a computer- to build robots- then they compete in competitions. He just had his first tournament. It is a day long affair. Luckily this one was in town, at our own elementary school.They made sun visors that look like birds- cause their mascot is- the Raptors.
This is the course that they have to teach the robots to move through. There are different missions that they have to complete in order to get points.
Seth's team did well enough to qualify for the state tournament. They also had to prepare a skit. The skit they did was on saving electricity. They were driving electric cars. Seth has had a lot of fun in this club. But it is a little frustrating- cause he just wants to build the robot by himself. :0)
