The T-BOTS displayed thank you notes from the Gifted and Talented students at their pit in Dallas Regionals.

Oops.  My f/stop was way too small for these big group photos.

Buuuuut. Again, my flash was kind of destroying the atmosphere of these photos. It made the background COMPLETELY black.  So I was making due, and walking around with a box to steady the camera. And people were looking at me weird, and I am not sorry.

These were the Gifted and Talented kids that came to see the T-BOTS compete.  The story about these kids is really cool, because the kids gave up their annual trip to Medieval Times to go see the T-BOTS. The T-BOTS had built several things for the GT kids, like their egg drop project, and it was really special to them. They wrote them notes to thank them, and one kid told them "You're more fun than a monkey!" Is there ANY BETTER COMPLIMENT THAN THAT? No. No there isn't. The T-BOTS were really touched by the kids coming to see them.  They gave them a tour of the competition and taught them how scouting worked, and showed them how the robot worked, and they got to see the robot compete as well.  The girl in the top photo was an UPWARD cheerleader, so she was cheering for the T-BOTS the entire time.  I loved that little girl, she was so cool.

This was just a really awesome experience. :)
