On the 3rd we have our first FIRST LEGO League Tournament. It is the Tullahoma Local event. I have not said anything about this because I wanted it to be a sort-of secret. Our team is "Team Terastorm", named after Mindstorms NXT (that is what we are using; some old teams still have their old Mindstorms RXC) with "Tera" instead of "Mind" ("Tera" is the new "In" number) and we added "Team" because it sounded good. Tullahoma Local is a practice event, then comes the Chattanooga event, then the Tennessee State Tournament. There are five members and three coaches. The members are: Patrick Sims, Michael Cook, Eddie and Bennett Sunder, and me. The coaches are: Stuart Wood, Ed Sunder, and Jeffrey Cross (my Dad).
We now have a remanufactured iRobot Scooba 5999 (before it was remanufactured, it was a 5800). Scoobas are robotic mops that vacuum, wash, scrub, and dry (they squeegee up the water). The package came with one 8-oz. bottle of Clorox Scooba cleaning solution, measuring cup, suction bulb (to prep and maintain Scooba's pump), standard Scooba battery, power supply, and one Virtual Wall.
