LABRATS Celebrate!

The LABRATS Robotics & Engineering team has made Redd School history! This dynamic team won the top Champions Award in the Qualifier matches back in Dec. We were thrilled to be able to move on to the Lone Star Championship games held this past weekend here in Houston. Our goal? - to best our own top score and have fun!

We accomplished both. But, as testimony to the work ethic and teamwork that this group of students has excelled in, they brought home 3 more trophies!! AND, finished 5th in their robot game out of 62 teams! High score 345. An unprecedented record for one season.

3rd Place Champions Award

A special assembly honored their achievement on Monday morning at school. And yes, that's me in the chicken costume. I had told the kids that if we finished in the top 3rd of the 62 teams, I would dress up in the chicken outfit (graciously given to me by former team member Alex P at the end of last year).

Thanks to all of you who have offered support and good wishes all year!!! This season of First Lego League competition is over...we're already talking about next year :D
