2013:
For the 2013 LEGO league the theme is Natures fury. This is my second year on the team and we did MUCH better than last year! We got 3rd place this year (at the Qualifying Tournament) and were REALLY happy!! We also got the most trophies possible (at the Qualifying Tournament)
Here are the trophies we got:
We were awarded the Robot Design Award which is given to the team that demonstrates overall outstanding achievement in mechanical design, programming, strategy and innovation.
We were also awarded the Robot Performance Award which is given to the team that scored the highest number of points in a single round of the three rounds of the table competition. This is the only award that can be received in conjunction with another award.
Lastly, we got an ACE award, which is given to the top teams demonstrating balanced performance in the three judging areas and ranking in the top 50% of Robot Performance scores.

At State Championships we did MUCH worse... We were a golden ticket team (meaning we got 1-3rd at our county tournament) But anything that could go wrong without our robot breaking, did go wrong... IT WAS HORRIBLE!! But we did learn a lot and next year we know what # to aim for and how much to research (We didn't research anything enough)
Can't wait for next year!!
