Purdue Regional Robotics

Kevin left early Thursday morning to setup the robotics pit and robot for the Purdue Regional Robotics competition.

Since I passed the certification test on Thursday morning, I was able to return home. Kasey, Kody, Chelsea and left early Friday morning for Purdue to cheer on Kevin and the Penn robotics team. We had a GREAT time watching the various battles!

After Friday's preliminary qualification rounds, we walked Chelsea to the Purdue institute because she was attending the Priest/Laurel conference. This was perfect timing and location!

Kasey, Kody and I then headed to Indy for the night, so they could check out my pad while I'm attending school.

We got up early to head back to Purdue to watch the finals. Lori and Charly headed down from Granger to meet up with us. We had another great day watching the numerous battles with the robots. Penn's team made it to the semi-finals. They now prepare to attend the nationals in Atlanta in April. I believe the nationals are broadcast on ESPN.

  1. Kevin,

    This is amazing, and what an exciting thing for you to be involved in. I go to the one up at the "U" every year, and it is incredible to watch the ideas that everyone comes up with. Congrats!
