Monterey Lego League Spring Challenge Exhibition

It started in early March with a kick off and culminated this past Saturday with an open to the public exhibition. Lukas and Noah participated in Monterey Lego League Spring Challenge - Wild and Woolly, A Walk on the Wild Side. Each team had to design, build and program a robot to look, and behave like an animal. The teams also had to design and create the zoo like environment most suitable for the animal chosen. Each team interpreted the ideas in a different way and judging from the faces on the kids, everyone had a great time. Noah and his team mates kept improving the zoo, adding, enhancing and re-positioning parts of the zoo even while the exhibition was under way. Not satisfied with status quo, the team also began to write more programs that they gleefully tested out on the zoo table. Lukas and his team mates also worked on last minute additions, changes and updates to make sure Mr Komodo dragon was up to par. It has been ten busy weeks, but the learning and the fun made it all so worthwhile. It certainly helps to have a very patient, kind and computer savvy Dad and husband, when the inevitable happens, and happens, and happens. Bob spent many long and tedious hour this past week trouble shooting a plethora of computer issues to make sure that Robogator and Komodo Dragon would take a walk on the wild side on Saturday.
