Our son Peter is right now this very second at the WA State FLL
competition, first part is the presentation.
He did NOT want mom and dad there for that part, so we are going to the
afternoon session.
That's where they compete on the tables to get their robot to perform tasks
and return home.
It's a big day for Peter, he's had newspaper stories and school district
messages and a story on the website about him so he's feeling pretty good.
Now it's time to (as he say's a lot these days) "Get 'Er Done!"
One cool thing is there is a prize and cash for "Best new invention" and he
has created one that's gotten some attention.
It would be great to get something to put up for college for this smart
young man we are raising.
I made copies of the stories and put them up on Picasa:
