Doing the Robot

FIRST FIRST LEGO LEAGUE: This weekend MPA was pretty much consumed with Annabelle's participation in First LEGO League.

She is fortunate to have had the opportunity via Amelia's Club at The Museum of Flight. Since September, she and a handful of girls her age have been meeting at the museum each Saturday.

This Saturday, she was there from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. getting ready for an 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. competition at Ballard High School on Sunday.

It's actually a complicated, intricate process and we'll blog more extensively about it in days to come. 

For now, I can share that the team did really well in their competition. They met all of their goals on the robot run, and did well enough in the presentations to win the teamwork award for having done a great job in meeting the competition's core values.

By the way, I loved that the robotics competition tables had names like Lovelace and Hawking.

GRATUITOUS: Apologies for the short blog post. Here are some Mt. Rainier shots as a consolation. 

I love it when fog settles in the valley and the mountain rises out of the mist.

 And I'm not sure if this was a sunset or a sunrise, but it sure was pretty.
