Yes, it's been over a week since Team 159 returned from the Colorado Regional in Denver and I'm just now sharing. These robots are exhausting!
I'm so proud of this amazing drive team and all their 159 teammates.
We were eliminated in the quarter-finals by the alliance captained by our brother/sister team at Fossil Ridge High School. We eat lunch together. We cheer for each other. They are our robotics BFF's and there's no team here we'd rather get beaten by.
But I have to say, having your kid drive the robot sure is nerve-wracking!
What a season for team 159!!! We haven't seen anything even close to it since 2012. You guys! These kids built a robot in 6 weeks. From scratch. And took it all the way to the finals in Lubbock, TX and the quarter-finals in Denver.
I leave this competition every year in awe of what everyone here is doing.
This year's robot, Hugh, was named after the team's computer programming mentor, who passed away unexpectedly over the summer. I know he would be so proud and excited about Team 159's great season.
Way to go T and team!!!
I loved following the journey on FB!
