The Dutch Fork team 2533A ROBOTIC ENGINEERS. Our school started competing in the VEX circuits two years ago. We have always have been the Robotic Engineers. Last year our team won the Excellence Award at the Nation Ford qualifier, and made it to the State Competitions. This year, we have completely different team members from last year. Most of the team members this year have not competed in VEX competitions previously, but, Sofia, the team leader has competed before. This year we hope to make it back to the State Competitions and possibly even make it to the World Competitions. We competed at the CATE qualifiers and scored the 20th place out of 26 teams which was very good for our first competition because we were still learning. We also got to the second quarter final competition.

Through this adventure we have learned a few things!
Through this adventure I have learned to think hard on everything. Also, in everything that you do and giving up is the worst thing that you can do.
--Adrian
I have learned the new language of programming which is important for me because I want to become a real successful programmer. I also have started to socialize with others more.
--Garrett
I've learned the life skill of resolving problems without getting angry which is a valuable lesson, and the robotics competitions have also helped me learn how to stay calm under pressure and work well in a group setting.
--Sofia
I’ve learned a new programming skill, and have gotten quite good at it. I have learned how to build a robot, and have learned how to have better group working skills.
--Arjun
I have learned how to build with VEX parts. I have also learned how to be patient with others when they are discussing things and how to compromise.
