Robot Wars & Leaf Blowers

IMG_2200IMG_2270

For one of Derek’s classes, they were put into groups and tasked with creating and building a robot that could get control of a bowling ball before the other teams’ robots.  There were 9 teams in the class and Derek’s team was undefeated and victorious.  Go Team 2!  It worked out great that the competition was when his parents were in town.  We all enjoyed watching.

Derek had promised the kids that they could drive the thing, so they each got a short turn after the competition.

Nana and Poppy bought a leaf blower when they were here and Eli was first in line to use it.  Poppy taught him what to do and he managed to blow all the sand off the driveway.

Hadn't seen these. Eli looks very cool in his leaf blower get up. Glad Derek's parents got to be here for the robot wars!
