State Tournament Results

The teams at the tournament were all excellent, top-notch teams with engaging projects and remarkable robots, so we had stiff competition.
  
TEAM Temp-Assure's FLL state tournament experience -  64 teams, stiff competition, robot troubles, teamwork, and..... 2nd place INSPIRATION AWARD!!! (one of the three kinds of teamwork awards). The judges thought our team was inspiring to other teams and to each other. We were nominated for the following three awards as well:
  1. Gracious Professionalism
  2. Research
  3. Inspiration
  4. (Another team also nominated us for the Against All Odds award, but in the awards ceremony, we were not officially nominated for it)
We were thrilled to have the judges recognize the work our team has done in the community to start, support, and inspire other FLL teams. We are all overjoyed to have received one of the top nine kinds of interview awards, and to have ranked 15th place in robot scoring.
  
Now we have another Lego trophy to add to our collection. TEAM Temp-Assure is still in surprised and excited shock, smiles everywhere. What an inspiring, and satisfactory day!
