State went great. The robot scored pretty well, but the project even higher. The booth was flooded with judges. The excitement level rose. The pressure was on.
After a full day of robot matches, teamwork, and project excitement, we came to the awards ceremony. As the awards were being announced, the team grew tense. "And the first place Innovative Solution award goes to..... 3176!!!" announced a judge. "That's us!" we exclaimed.
All the research and thinking put into our project payed off. TEAM FIRST Aid went home with a grand golden LEGO trophy!
Afterwards we headed to Culver's to celebrate.
You can see our state tournament pictures here.
Now we are looking forward to another year of teamwork, programing, and innovation!
