Good Luck, Toby and Team 107 at World FIRST Robotic Competition

Just said goodbye to the boys and their FIRST robotic team. They are riding a coach bus to Atlanta for their World FIRST robotic competition. This is the 4th year for Toby and 2nd year for Joshua working on their robotic team. This is actually the first year they both are fully immersed into it. In the past, they had always played not so important roles. This year, Toby takes on a lot leadership roles in designing and Joshua takes on the major role of programming. Thanks to their mentors, they both have matured so much. They spent 8 weeks to build the robot from November to January. During that time, Toby had so many things on his plate - the surgery, college application, scholarship applications...just to name a few. Despite these drawbacks, he spent countless nights working on his Autodesk design. He became the first student ever on his team to submit the design for Autodesk competition. You can tell we were thrilled to learn just today that his entry is selected as one of the 5 finalists to compete for the grand prize. Check it out (click here). It is amazing!!

Good luck Toby and Good Luck Team 107!! I wish I could be there watching and cheering for your team. We will be watching you via Nasa's live cast site...
