On Sat we went to The XKAR scrimmage Day
My hsb and dtr were judges
9am to 3:30pm
"Rookie day".
A“ Free for fun ” scrimmage helps
rookie FLL teams
practice their Table missions,
Teamwork, Technical
and Research
presentation in front
of Judges and Referees.
Two groups from Cincy
and
one from Columbus
came to participate
In Dec the actual competition takes place
The teams have to program their robots
to run on the black lines of the boards
This year the theme is Biomedical
They are judged on their research project
and they have to perform skits to show team work
They pick a photo
a car, popcorn, birds in flight, pin ball machine)
discuss how to do it w/o the judges
know what the they picked
You can see if the group
decides or just certain individuals
The judges write
their opinions down and
the team leaders are given
the info so that
when they go to the actual competition
they will be ready
It was fun to watch kids being
exciting about learning
without being in a formal
classroom!
