Events included Robot Performance, a Research Project and Presentation and a social skills exercise tabbed Core Values. Their co-championship team was the prior years Central Texas winner that wide to the FLL World Championship. Visually wordless students and teams will likely goody from taking some specific deportment to prepare for positive social interactions at a tournament.

When not in scheduled events, teams wait and interact with one flipside in the “Pit” (often a cafeteria). The wordplay was veritably "YES."
