Karen Albrecht, Director of Engineering at Lockheed Martin, invited us to demonstrate the LEGO robot to people attending the FRC Peachtree Regional. We demonstrated on March 14 and were able to watch the FRC robots. It was fun seeing what the high school level teams do. We were also invited to attend and speak at the VIP luncheon that day. Team member eLEGOtric Guitar Girl spoke to the attendees about what robotics has meant to her. We think she did a great job! At the end of the day, the team was presented to a big crowd at the award ceremony. That was really exciting! Thank you, Ms. Albrecht, for this opportunity and for your amazing support! And thanks, GearGeeks, for letting us use your table for the demonstration. (Look for more about this team in another post...)
We met lots of people at the competition. There were many folks who didn't know about FLL and some of them had come to the event hoping to learn more about it or find a team. It was fun to share information with them and we hope they will soon all get involved with a team.
Team member Power Python sums up the day by saying "I had a lot of fun showing the robot to other kids. And we all really liked the chocolate mousse at lunch!"
