Philip & Jacob 400 point run #3 - FLL First Lego League 2009 Climate Connections Robot Run

Philip & Jacob run their 3rd 400 point run in a row during practice on 3/26/09. Out of 7 runs they scored 385, 400, 400, 400, 370, 380, & 395. Recent improvements to the run include: 1 - closing the arm when delivering the carbon to avoid pushing it out the back of the reservoir, 2 - using an aiming jig to attain higher reliability on the bicycle and insulation pick up, 3 - adding a "jiggle" before pushing the laptop, insulation, and bicycle to the house to better center the payload, 4 - pushing the floodgate open more slowly and lowering the arm over the ice buoy sooner, 5 - opening the window on the house more slowly, 6 - using a new tool for rotating the arrows of alignment (big flappers instead of skinny arms), 7 - using a new tool to hold the levees (that hold the levees more perpendicular to the red shore) for higher reliability.

Thank you. We participated in 3 competitions. We took 1st at the Dayton Regional in December. We took 2nd at the Ohio State Championship in February. And then we took 2nd place Champions Award (Overall), 1st in Robot Performance, and 1st in Robot Elimination (scoring 2 400s during the elimination rounds) at the US Open in May.

I'm happy. My team did really crappy last year, but peel can only go to the ontario (canada) provincials once every 2 years. I got screwed 'cause I can only go once in middle school but my team made it to ontario provincials this year. TEAM IROAR!

man i got 165 pts at shool for a practice round

[socceryear2008]

Very cool. Hopefully my team will do that good or at least close to that in the Michigan state competition in Flint. We only got 175 pts but we still got the most points. We also got 1st in Project, 2nd in Robot judging, and 1st in teamwork judging. It was amazing for us to do this good since we are a brand new private school with only 8 on the team and 37 in the whole school. Once again VERY COOL.
