Wow, what a day! We shared our presentations with the judges, met a whole bunch of teams and had our first Robot Games match!
As the Jellies finished a successful day of presentations, cookouts and robot games practice, the weather in Worcester cleared for the festivities to begin!
Teams from all over the world gathered to eat, play and party at the fairground. The sore feet and jet lag were soon forgotten, replaced by cotton candy and frisbee matches.
Good food was eaten, many jelly friends were made and the atmosphere was electric.
Today marked the first of five robot games for the Jelly Friends and what a start they made!
Taking it all in their stride, they came out with their highest score at competition-level to date!
Following that success, they went through to the team practice areas to tweak their code and mission focus, ahead of the main robot games tomorrow.
Rob from Watson Marlow, a friend of the Penpol Pumpkins and now the Jellies, paid us a visit. But that’s not all—he brought a barbecue and a whole lot of food, treating the Jelly Friends to a good old-fashioned American cookout!
Many burgers and hot dogs were enjoyed by all.
Another busy day, but this time at the WPI FIRST LEGO League International Competition. Yes, after four incredibly busy weeks we’ve finally started taking part in the International Final of the FIRST LEGO League competition! Today has been about setting up the pit area, meeting other teams and practicing the robot games ready for the first matches tomorrow. It’s all getting very exciting here!
It’s official: the competition is on and the Jelly Friends have just bought their energy, dance moves and theme tune to the stage at the WPI FIRST LEGO League International Event!
This is such a proud moment for us as their teachers. They’ve worked so incredibly hard to get to this stage and seeing them taking their place amongst the very very best teams in the world brings a bit of a tear to the eye!
Go smash it Jellies!
What do humpback whales, gigantic cheesecakes and green monsters all have in common? They’re all things the Jelly Friends have seen today as they’ve been exploring the city of Boston and its surrounding coastline! Check out today’s adventure below…
