We went to see the big robots compete today. We cheered on our friends from Ontario, “Where is Waldo” and the “Simbotics”. We listened to some wonderful speakers and were encouraged by them.

Well, the suburban is packed (except for the laptops and the robot which will be put in at the last minute). I sure hope I didn’t forget anything. The kids have worked hard to prepare and I’m amazed at how much more they have learned in the last few weeks. They really [...]

We are still busy preparing for the World Festival. We are organized, but have been experiencing a number of problems with our robot, which is a little disappointing and frustrating for the team.
