First Tech Challenge



Congratulations to our Wesley as his robotics team competed in the First Tech Challenge Championship Tournament.  They beat out over thirty other teams from all over the Southeast.  This gave them the great privilege of competing in the World championships at the Georgia Dome in April.  They were given the "Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology award" voted on by judges who are engineers from GA Tech, Lockheed Martin and other large corporate companies.  This will look great on his college resume!  Their robot was something to contend with and Scott jerked in his sleep last night as I am sure he was still watching from the sidelines in his dreams. The competition was grueling and lasted all day long.  We go to a smaller school so these 4 guys had to do most everything for themselves, competing with teams who had way more money in their bots than we did!  The name of their team is "Three brothers and Wesley"!  At the Georgia Dome, there will be teams from all over the world!  We will keep you posted and hope with us in this team going all the way to the top......... they are are fine group of young men who even took their robot to a local nursing home to entertain some of the elderly.  They loved it!
