This image depicts our team happily showing our robot and awards from a VEX competition this year. This photo shows our accomplishment winning the design and skills awards, which highlight our success in utilizing the engineering design process extensively to achieve excellence in the VEX robotics competition.

I selected this photograph because it showcases great teamwork between our team and another after a day of competition in November. This image shows excitement and joy after our two teams used all we have learned in the process of designing our robots to win the competition. 

On September 24, 2016, Nerd Herd Team 687A competed in our first VEX Competition at Nipomo High School. With a good robot design and presentation, we won "Judges Award". That's why I choose this photo. There's still more where that came from. Keep up the work team!

Within this photo is our driver Ken and our programmer Hunter working on the claw. Ken is testing the claw's reach as Hunter checks the code to see why the claw will close and open fully, but won't stop midway.

   In this picture,our teammate Hannah is cutting a piece of angle iron for our claw on our robot!

In this picture you see 7135B in the warm up field at Hereford Middle School. Our driver was practicing and I went by to watch. Once our robot got a cube in the air I immediately took a picture. When I went to look back at the picture I saw the amazing light reflecting off of it.

One of our team members removes his shoes and starts working on the robot one late afternoon in the robotics room. We are not afraid of hard work or long hours! 

This is a picture accentuating my team’s first hang in our 1-Minute Autonomous! I chose this picture because it was the result of the constant testing and redesigning of our program. This is a profound moment in our post-November timeline and I am extremely proud of my team’s work!
