This year my nephew Sebastian joined the robotics team at his high school. Their team, Robo Huskies, competed back in March in Duluth to compete for the Nationals. This year's assignment was to build a robot that could shoot basketballs and balance on a ramp. We had an opportunity to see the competition, and it proved quite interesting! The creativity these kids can come up with and the robots they created was impressive to say the least!

The Robo Huskie "bot"
The mechanics of the robot... so much wiring!
The fancy wheels (right) made their robot able to turn quick and sharp.

Next week the team is headed to St. Louis for the Nationals competition! Go Robo Huskies!
