False Robotics

Last week was the first meeting of the False Robotics club at False Bay School. We're part of the First Lego League, hosted this year by BCIT. Our regional tournament is in Duncan this year, and we're all looking forward to another road trip. Last year's robotics club was a huge success. The team competed at the regional tournament in Victoria, and we exceeded all our own expectations. Plus we had an awesome road trip, culminating in a night at a hotel with pizza and chocolate.

This year there are at least 12 kids who want to participate. Regulations state that only 10 kids are allowed per team, so we're going to have to be creative in determining who is officially on the team. I'm just so proud, that on an island with a total population of 350 people, there are 12 kids who want to join the robotics club! Pretty astonishing, I must admit.

This time round we're going to make team shirts, but one of the things that the club members from last year insisted upon, was that we not have t-shirts that "all look the same". True non-conformists. So, we've recruited a local artist to help us with stencils, and all the kids are going to bring their own shirts to paint. Should be extra creative. I think mine will just say:

FALSE

On the back.
