Explorer Post 1010 had three teams registered in the 2016 Botball Educational Robotics program.
Several members went to a workshop on Saturday and Sunday, February 20/21, at the University of Maryland.
The next week we kicked off eight weeks of intensive robot development,
culminating in a regional tournament on April 23, at Rockville High School.
We then sent one team to the Botball Global Conference on Educational Robotics in St
Augustine, FL in early July. This was an exciting challenge, and we had a lot of fun.
Check out our great slideshow.
We formed our teams in January 2016 and the game for 2016
was revealed.
We sent several new members to the Botball Workshop at Maryland University in College Park on Saturday/Sunday, February 27/28.
Here are the
Workshop Slides.
In that same period, we moved from Lockheed Martin to Johns Hopkins and constructed a full test table in our workshop.

Regional Tournament
The DC regional tournament was held on Saturday, April 24, 8am to 7pm, at
Rockville High School
in Rockville, MD. Our teams did OK, but had room for improvement.
Team 162 came in 4th overall. Team 161 won a judges award for spirit. Here is a list of the
awards
and the raw score data.
Following the tournament, we did a lessons review.
Global Conference and Tournament
Team 162 entered the Global Conference on Educational Robotics, held in St Augustine FL, July 6 to July 11.
Our team won an award for the highest score in the
Robotics Achievement Test.
Here are the raw data for the
seeding rounds,
double elimination, and
overall scores.
At the conference students are given an opportunity to present papers on their research in robotics.
Here is an example on Code
Conventions and Version Control.
