Day 47

Today was a very successful day for the TechTigers. Today was the annual Coconut Creek Business Expo, which the TechTigers have been participating in for the past 3 years. The Expo showcases various businesses and organizations in the city of Coconut Creek, with over 6000 people attending. We had two scheduled shows in which we demonstrated our 2005 and 2006 robots and allowed the audience to participate by helping to toss balls into our 2006 robot. Afterwards, we answered the audiences' questions and allowed the kids to view the robots up close. All in all, it was an awesome experience and a very good day for team 1251.
