Bernadine Sitts Intermediate Center held an extra concert during school today so that the kids that missed the concert from going to Worlds could still play in it! I'm glad we have such great schools in Garden City and USD 457 Garden City Public Schools!

Tonight we had our pizza party to watch the new VEX game for next year (and I forgot to take any pictures). Thanks so much to Sherry Larson and Pizza Hut for donating the pizza!

The final day of Worlds went great, we had our best two matches of the competition scoring 248 and 303 points! We ended up finishing in 59th place in our division. We had a great time at Worlds and we made a bunch of new robotics team friends!

Thanks again for everyone who help make this possible, including our amazing parents, coaches, and sponsors!

Great Day 2 at VEX Worlds! We had some really good runs and a few where things didn't go as planned. But we are having a great time!

Thanks to all of our sponsors that helped make this trip possible!

We had a great (and tiring) first day at VEX Worlds! I believe we got our highest run ever for driving skills and our first team work matches went great! Finished it off with a fun time at Dave & Busters. Looking forward to day 2 tomorrow!
