Finally, the big day of the Robotics Derby! Campers had their choice of events, with most participating in "Sonic Sensor Maze," "Perfect Curve," "Near Miss," "Zig Zag Zee," and "Go Fetch."

As a special experiment, we connected by web cam to a group of teachers and students at the University of Toyama in Japan. Our campers demonstrated several projects to them and answered their questions. It was 7:30 p.m. on Friday night here and 9:30 a.m. on Saturday there. In future camps, we hope to expand this type of interaction.

Then it was time for the last "virtual campfire," the graduation ceremony, group photograph, and final farewell. 

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 session.  Robotics Camp 2008 at the Murray State University campus was a GREAT SUCCESS! The camp staff, Mr. Mike and Miss Rachel, would like to thank everyone who attended Robotics Camp 2008. Without you and your creativity, this week would not have been such a great success.
