They placed second this year in the state competition.
Excellent! Give them my congratulations. I'll bet y'all have a lot of fun with it.
It is fun, though very tiring, as the teams meet 2-3 times per week, plus my oldest is also in FIRST's FRC league, which also meets multiple times per week.
Lots of fun, and the kids learn a lot about programming--not the nuts and bolts, of course, but at least the generalities of how to design code.
