I did not see any teams try to move the green bins into safety during any of the official rounds. After the official rounds, as a demonstration, we paired up Squirt the Turtle (USA) with Universal Serial Bus (Japan). Universal Serial Bus was able to deliver two of the green bins to the transfer and Squirt the Turtle picked them up and brought them back to their safety. This created the 1000+ score (I believe it was 1031 during the demonstration match).

There were two teams that came to my table and I was just a spectator for the entire time: Universal Serial Bus (Japan) and Mechatronic Ants (Spain). At the end of both of their matches, I just said "wow" and high-fived the teams before scoring their table.

Most importantly, all of the teams had FUN! When you see these scores and watch these videos, please do not be intimidated by what you see. FLL teams compete at all different levels. You and your team should strive to be better and be proud of what you can accomplish.

Enjoy the off season. We'll see you next year, if not sooner.

For those interested, the highest score posted at Worlds was 1,081.  This was durning a practice round.  Checkout the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tC3KA2YR-oE&feature=youtu.be&noredirect=1.  The team, Squirt the Turtle from NH, also had the highest robot score, 976, during official rounds.
