Some of you have met my 13 year old son Peter,
He's been involved in a robotics team this year, meeting 2 or 3 times a
week.
They had their regional competition today, and they did well.
Their team is going to the State competition in January!
Part of the competition is presentation, part is teamwork, a part is for
design and the fourth part is where they have their robots run through a
series of tasks.
Their robot performed in the high middle area, but the other three parts
were excellent and they won for best presentation.
Peter created a robot just for the presentation that they called the "Watch
Bot".
It has a video camera and the idea is that it can move about in a kitchen
recording things that can be viewed in order to improve things.
This year's challenge is food related illnesses.
Just a little proud dad time here, oh and his mother is very pleased too.
