Updated with pictures!

Original Post:

What a fun, fun day! Today was the Botball competition and we loaded up our robots, our toolboxes, our computers, and our students and went over to Carnegie Mellon to showcase our stuff. Lots of lessons later, we didn't place in any of the categories but we did receive a "Judges' Choice Award" for our robot designs. The kids had a great time and, although they are dead tired, are already thinking about next year's competition. I'll post pictures tomorrow when I finally get my hands on some.
