My son Ben is participating in the FIRST FRC Robotics competition in St. Louis Missouri in Team 973.

They had 10 matches today, and were the only team that was undefeated, with the highest number of ranking points! They were ranked 1st in our division. Woohoo!

I must take a moment to express my admiration for how hard all of the students are working. These are long tense days and the students are staying focused and hard working. The data collection, data entry, and interpretation is on going. Robot maintenance and practice is continuing. This team never stops!!!

Looking forward to the matches tomorrow!

Here’s a sample of the matches:
