   The robotics team I coach did really well in the competition! I'm so proud of them. It's an all girls team (not by decree) and a very small team as it's a very small school. There were many all boys teams at the competition (also, I hope, not by decree) and we cleaned up.

   There was one robot better than ours by far however. An impressive design. I took some videos for the girls to study so we can figure out how it did the task so damn fast.

   We had a great time!

     The school with the better robot has a whole ROOM devoted to the robotics team with neat little bins of parts and 3D printers and laser cutters and wielding and every lovely thing you can imagine (they kicked me out.)

     *I* am going to talk to the school head! I want a room too!

     They also opened the competition by having their school's ROTC march out with what I think were fake guns. It was very intimidating! But we were not phased.

     The marching was very precise and impressive. The angles of the flags were perfect.

     Perhaps we should have the D&D club prepare something intimidating if we ever host a competition? Although I do not think we have a large enough space for such an event...

     Still maybe they could come out and cast some spells?
