A Great Robot Competition in Denver

Sarah was able to celebrate yesterday evening in Denver when the Lee's Summit North robotics team won the most prestigious award in the competition...the Chairman's Award. You can see below how excited Sarah was to be on hand to receive the medal. Mommy made sure that Sarah had on a Broncobots uniform just like everyone else on the team. The Chairman's Award is an award that one team receives for spreading the word about First Robotics and science, engineering, and technology throughout their community.

The robot team worked really hard on this aspect all year long and they did pretty well in the technical competition too. The Broncobots ended up losing in the first round of the playoffs when their alliance went up against the #1 seed and eventual champions.

If you didn't notice already, Sarah really ate into the medal and in the second picture you can clearly see her bottom chompers. Some top teeth will probably be poking through any time now. Joella and Sarah are now visiting cousins just north of Denver and later this week I'll fly out there so I can visit and help Joella drive back home next weekend.
