gibson has been busy on hutchinson's lego league team since august and on saturday, january 4th, 2014, the team performed at regional competition in elk river, mn.
rachel, ella, allysa, charlie, michael, luke, dj, jordan, connor, and gibson
coaches: mrs. dohlman and dan scheele
our pit number and schedule for the day
getting prepped for the first event
gibson is very nervous
what a great group of kids!
waiting anxiously before they present their robot design and programming to the judges
their presentation and gibson was supposed to be sharing the programming features, but it think her nerves got to her. luckily, i don't think she would have got a word in because dj was all over it! whew!
having some fun on the practice board in between events (this day started at 5:15am and we were home by 7:45pm)
the team had three tries at the board with their robot missions. their top score was 363! this seemed to be a very impressive run.
if you can imagine lights are off and then the tables are spotlighted and music blaring. pretty exciting for everyone!
the team making some spirit posters. so cute!
the team going over to another team that was struggling at the board in the first round.
this is an overview of the "pit" gym. again music thumping and the score board with lights flashing. wow!
another run at the board.
the team received three awards. they won the head to head competition for their division, they got first in programming, and first in their project/ presentation. the presentation can be view on youtube by looking up hutchinson lego league and there are more pictures on facebook by searching the same name.
most exciting is that they won overall in their division and are going to state in february!
so proud of her gold medal.
state bound!
