State Results



TEAM Temp-Assure's FLL state tournament experiance -  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 fallowing 3 awards:
  1. Gracious Professionalism
  2. Research
  3. Inspiration
We are thrilled to have the judges recognize the work our team has been doing in the community to start, support, and inspire other FLL teams. We are all very happy to have received one of the top nine kinds of interview awards, and to have ranked 15th in robot scoring.
 

It was a long and exhausting day, but we all had thrilling time! The teams at the FLL State Championship were all excellent teams with engaging projects and remarkable robots. The team did very well in their interviews and obviously had some tough competition. In the end, we were all quite surprised with our second place
We now have another trophy built out of Legos to add to the team's trophy shelf in my living room.
TEAM Temp-Assure is still in surprised and excited shock, smiles everywhere. What an inspiring, and satisfactory day!

Pictured: Curtis was a founding member of the team. He is currently a youth mentor on our team. He is also on the CORE 2062 FRC team and has a lot of fun as a ref at tournaments. He needs a silly hat, though, don't you think? Refs all need silly hats!

Pictured: Madeline was a founding member of the team. She is currently a youth mentor on our team. Here Madeline smiles at Ruth, another 4-H FLL graduate from the former team Legonauts, as Ruth takes a rest on Madeline's shoulder while standing in the line up of judges, refs and volunteers to congratulate teams.

Come on down to Marquette High School this Saturday and check out the tournament. It's sure to be a lot of fun!
