For those you that don't know, our high school is involved with the FIRST National Robotics Competition. The competition was very professional-looking. Most of the robots were supported by large sponsors, and were built in the most professional manner. Some of the robots looked as if they were never touched by a student's hand. Still, our robot ended up being pretty sweet, but it didn't exactly do what we wanted it to do. Despite a few minor complications, we were able to play some great defense. Other than that, though, we were kind of bad. We were unable to score effectively. What I Learned: The simple machine wins. The machine with the most simple design was in 1st place. Who would've thunk it?
