I think some of the girls were nervous to […]

Some teams have made Lego boxes to help keep things organized near base. The scoring condition for most objects is at the end…[Read more]

When the robot brings…[Read more]

  I’m so sorry Albert, I didn’t get notified of your response a few days ago and now see there’s other folks interested. I could be there soon if you were to consider me first in line, or we could flip a coin?
Albert replied 2 years, 4 months ago

Great to see multiple interests. Would like to give to Mallika given she is a teacher. Will you be able to pick it up? Otherwise Dan gets it
Mallika Viswas replied 2 years, 4 months ago
