Robotics

 In addition to working full time this year, I have also taken on the position of coaching our elementary robotics team. It has been waaaaay more encompassing than I originally expected, but I have enjoyed it. We performed terribly at our first ever competition back in November but learned a ton. When it was time for our regional competition we dominated and our team took home 3 of the 5 first place trophies. We then moved on to state, which I was guessing would be the end of our run. Only 2 out of 7 elementary schools in Hutto even made it to State. But guess what??? Two of our teams have now made it to worlds! We do get a 2 month break as the world championship is in Dallas in mid May. I recently learned that 70 countries will be represented, with over 1,000 teams! My dad sent me a news article this morning about an elementary team from Montana fund raising to get there. I'm excited and proud of my kids, but I was also looking forward to the season wrapping up as I constantly feel in over my head. Ha!
