Competition Day 2

The kids are exhausted but we have made it through the "competition" part of our trip. We had a high score today of 390. The high score possible is 400 points so we are thrilled with this effort. The kids are a bit disappointed and would love to have achieved a 400 but a 390 is the highest score in the history of The Atoms Family so we are proud of that. There were three teams that had perfect 400's for all three rounds!! Wow!!

We had to close down our pit area today and pack up our robot. It was sad for all of us. We met lots of teams. It was fun to meet kids from New Zealand .. this team had 32 hours of travel time and were so friendly. The accent is awesome. We also met a team from a Christian School in South Korea. They wrote our name in Korean for us.

We have no idea how the awards will turn out. The robot score is only one small part of the overall score so it is hard to say what will happen tomorrow. The awards ceremony is at 1:00 PM. After that, there is a Finale Party in Centennial Olympic Park. We are excited and can't wait for tomorrow!
