What is the Terra Centre FLL Robotics Post-Season Tournament - Trash Trek
Season? It's a full Trash Trek tournament including Robot Game, Robot
Design judging, Project judging, and Core Values judging -- but its just
run for fun by the Terra Centre PTA. Sometimes called a "scrimmage."
Because it is run by the TC PTA, not FLL or VADCFLL, no teams are
"assigned"...just sign up!
You didn't make the State Tournament? This is your chance to do more with
the Trask Trek season! The focus is celebrating fun and participation, not
winning.
We are a PTA-based team that only gets 6 weeks to prepare before our
regional tournaments. So, the idea of a post-season tournament is to give
the kids a couple more days to get their robot working the way they
planned.
The Project is still the same -- don't start over -- use the Project you
used in the Trash Trek regional tournament with just a little more time to
finish up some loose ends. Maybe present the additional sharing you have
done. Not prepared for the Project judging? No worries, come participate
in whatever you can and have fun.
We had intended to do awards and give volunteers freebies so we were
charging a fee per team to cover some of the costs. We are not
profiting...just giving the kids an opportunity to have fun. If the fee is
a big issue, contact me.
Burke is in the heart of Fairfax County so it is easily accessible from all
of Northern Virginia and DC. Just 20 minutes SW of the Pentagon, 30
minutes north of Quantico, and 30 minutes east of Gainesville.
Questions? Comments? Want to volunteer? Please contact me.
Thanks!
