Today we went to the Oranje Nassau shool, an elmentary school near us, to tell the kids about FTC and let them drive with our robot. It was great to do and everyone learned a lot and had a good time :)
This school also has a chance to go to St. Louis with a Jr. FLL team, but infortunatley they don't have the sponsoring. Please do let us know if you have any sponsoring ideas or would like to sponsor them yourself!

These two weeks we have moved our workplace from school to Laura's house, where we set up the playing field yesterday. We are happy to be able to keep working, because a lot still has to be done! These following days we will be gathering here very often to work on the robot.
We would like to wish everyone a merry Christmas and a happy new year! :)

Here are some pictures of us at the First Lego League tournament in Rotterdam, and we are happy to say that there are a lot of people interested in our demo! :)
The tournament is organized very well and we are happy to be able to tell all these great FLL teams about what they can do in the future: FTC.

We are looking forward to the rest of the day!

Sinterklaas is over, so it's time to decorate the room for Christmas ;) And work on the robot of course!

It has been a while since we have last updated you, so here are a couple new things:
Saturday the 28th of November we were present at the First Lego League competition in The Hague. We gave a demo and showed younger children how FTC worked.
Tomorrow, the 11th of December, we are going to the FLL competition in Rotterdam to do the same there.

And, some BIG news! We will not only be attending the finals in Eindhoven (April 1 and 2), we also have the amazing opportunity of attending the finals in Prague! We will be going there in February, and are all really looking forward to the competition and the trip :)
