Finally the big day of the Robotics Derby! Campers had their choice of events, with most participating in the Distance Doggy, Bulldozer Bowling, Gear Jamming Chain Thing, Bump and Go, Electronic Eyes or the most popular and challenging event Obstacle Hill.
Then it was time for the last "virtual campfire," a quick camp evaluation,
graduation ceremony, group photograph, and final farewell. On behalf
of the instructional staff, I would like to say that we appreciated the
obvious enthusiasm of the campers and their commitment to helping us make
this a successful robotics camp! We also enjoyed the many parents and other
visitors who dropped by during the week. A special thanks to my assistant,
Diana, for all her efforts and interest in supporting Robotics 2002 in
Madisonville.
