I couldn't agree more... Kaitlin and her army of volunteers were AWESOME this weekend! And the teams were all so inspiring! It makes me so proud knowing what this generation will bring to our communities as they get older.

Thank you ALL for everything you do.

By the way, believe it or not, yesterday there was ANOTHER challenge update! Not that it could affect any of our teams at our tournaments, but maybe it will matter for some of our advancing teams. The update didn't add much though:

UPDATE 10 – USE OF LEGO® POWERED UP: AMENDMENT TO BEFORE THE MATCH | EQUIPMENT #3 – We acknowledge that the use of LEGO® Powered Up electric elements has been unclear in the rules previously and apologize for any confusion this may have caused. We hereby confirm that – going forward – the use of these motors is officially allowed. Please note that the limit regarding the allowable number of controllers, motors, and sensors in any particular match (outlined in Before the Match | Equipment #3), still applies.

Great season, and I look forward to seeing teams again next fall!

Best Regards,

Hi Teams,

First, a HUGE shoutout to Kaitlin and the incredible group of volunteers for a spectacular State tournament experience on Sunday. All three of our teams left on Cloud 9.

Second, I gathered our teams together yesterday and had them answer the questions below in a couple sentences. Some of the answers made me laugh. Other moved me to tears. I thought I'd share in case you wanted to do the same with your team. As a coach, their answers were definitely the cherry on top of our season.

PS: If you have any questions to add, feel free to reply to this thread!
