It was Friday, April 16th and we just had our first round on the table and we got a perfect 400! However right before our round was one of the most stressful times during the whole competition. We had transferred the robot from its travel bin into the bin we carted it around in at the Georgia Dome this morning. But we forgot to transfer the piece that is essential to deliver the people. Without this it would be impossible to get a perfect score. We asked the team behind us if they had brought any spare parts (of course no one brings parts to the competition table!) and they said they hadn't. Then they asked us what piece we needed. A few seconds later, they were offering us a piece of their robot! Wow, that was amazing, they actually took apart their robot to give us the piece we needed. Not only did we get a perfect score, but so did the awesome team that helped us - Monkey Madness, Team 237 from Alabama! We nominated them for the Gracious Professionalism Award and in our six years of FLL competition, no team has deserved it more!
Thank You Monkey Madness!
