Last weekend the Infinite Horizons 4-H Club & LEGO Robotics Team competed at the Western Edge Invitational tournament in Long Beach, California.
Our team placed 33rd out of 87 teams from across the world! Our max score was 425 points, but our two scores leading up to that were also team records of 395 and 400 points!
The team worked incredibly hard over the last several months, going from a top score of 280 points at regionals on Feb 21st, to 300 points at the State competition on March 21st, to 425 points at Western Edge on May 30th!
Saturday evening they worked with their alliance teams to prepare for the On the Spot competition - they learned the challenge and rules at 4pm, worked to build and program the robots until 9pm, and then competed the next morning at 9am! It was so fun to see them work together with new friends.
Another highlight came when one of our team members placed 2nd in the Rock Paper Scissors challenge, collecting bead necklaces with each victory!
After the competition was finished, we returned to the beach for some time in the ocean waves! Although it was chilly earlier in the week, the weather was perfect Sunday evening for our beach visit!
As you can imagine, this was a very expensive journey. If you wish to donate to support our continued growth and learning, please check out our Zeffy campaign at:
