Ok... well, we;ve been having a ton of problems with this years competition. You wouldn't believe the luck we've had. First, our Illinois divion was postponed until February, and in that case, we were not allowed to participate at the national level. And, then we find out that we can join the St Louis divions, but the school wouldn't accept our proposal to use school transportation. We decided to try again, but our efforts may or may not work. I really hope we get to compete this year...

Well, we started up the robotics season for our high school robotics team, and let me tell you, the ideas that are popping up are insane! lol. We participate in an event called best robotics. BEST is a non-profit, volunteer organization whose mission is to inspire students to pursue careers in engineering, science, and technology through participation in a sports-like, science- and engineering-based robotics competition. Its fun, and we all enjoy it, but its a rush and all. Fun though. Last year, we had an amazing robot that managed to get us 2nd place at the national level competition. We're very proud of this robot.

Here is a link to a picture of our robot.
