Have you met our son Ben?
Rumor has it that he's a dependable, awesome builder with a good sense of humor who loves bacon. Oh yea ... and he created Steve.
Meet Steve, Ben's robot that he built for his team to compete in a Lego League Competition
Ben designed and built Steve to compete on this obstacle course. Each of the boys on his team got to program Steve to accomplish certain tasks
Ben's task was to go through that turnstile to turn the blue flag 90 degrees, turn left and position Steve in front of the green and grey goal on the left there....
Where he shoots....
...and scores! (most of the time)
Then he turns, scoops up that little basket by Micah and brings it back home (most of the time)
As a rookie team, the Robot Rattlers didn't have high expectations going into the competition, and they learned that even when they're programed just right, these robots don't always do exactly what you ask them to, but the team actually took 4th place out of 12 teams (and were only 10 points away from tying for 2nd place). It's always fun to see your son take on new challenges.
Nice Job Benji!
Now what's with the Bacon Thing?
