This team dropped their robot right before going in to compete, and it shattered into pieces.  Parts were still falling off as they were setting up and adjustments were still being made as the round started.  Nonetheless, they completed their round with great determination.  An Against All Odds award goes to team 18, the Soulja Boys of Uxbridge MA.

This team had a great master of floor markings, multi-tasking and teamwork.  They actually programmed beyond the limits of their robot design, and learned to adapt from it.  A Programming award goes to team 8, the Sharon Devilbots.

This team was one of the few today that could place the solar panel on the roof of the house.  The only problem is that it worked a second AFTER the judge walked on to the next table.  I can't believe it - because I didn't see it, but witness testimony confirms it.  An Oh, No, I Can't Believe It! award goes to team 27, Northboro Team 1 of Northboro MA.
