SOCCER-BOTS.
The children have patented innumerable designs for their Soccer-Bots. They have been inspired by the Olympic Games.
The two teams (single or double-bot teams) line up on their side of the field and await the coin toss. After initial possession is determined, teams control their robots via joy sticks and try to push/steer/carry the ball into the the opponent goal.
This is a contact sport. Only the referees can turn over robots that have been rendered immobile. We have seen yellow and red cards issued in these intense games. What Olympic event would not be complete without a Lego Olympic Trophy.

SUMO-BOTS.
Robotics can include "ferocious" competition. We are fortunate kids form strong friendships and have learned the meaning of fair play and good sportsmanship. If this were not the case, we might need security for our robotics curriculum. Of course, the kids are not contending in hand to hand combat. Instead they are using robots built from Lego and Tetrix parts.This exciting event is actually a world-celebrated engineering skirmish that simulates the traditional art Sumo wrestling in Japan.
Each “SUMO-BOT” must meet particular weight and size stipulations prior to the official contests. Robots start on opposite sides of a white rectangle and prepare for an epic face-off. Each team attempts to push the other team's robot or robots off the playing field. After the encounter, only one team remains. After a few adjustments, the combat-tested adversaries upgrade their robots and compete again.

TREVON BRANCH:
This Year's Theme
Each year has a different theme. This year the project involves civil engineering. The robots battle each other in fun games. They score points for correctly completing specified missions. Do not worry. The robots do try to stop one another and corner or disable their opponent. Within the manufactured city landscape, students build exciting vehicles to traverse the streets. If you can stop your opponent you may go on to the final round. Each robot has a distinct advantage over only a few of its foes. It is hard to create an invincible robot. Everyone enjoys success.
Trevon Moehrig was an awesome football player. The rowing team from the college went to see him play at TCU. Several teachers and professors came by to discuss how Trevon Moehrig and recently been drafted by the Los Angeles raiders and had already begun to play a number of the preseason matches. His defense was awesome. He could turn the ball over almost at will. He could run back interceptions to the end zone at least a couple of times a game. We discussed the NFL draft and all the different last-minute trades.
Branch earned his first career start in the season opener in a Monday night game against the San Diego Chargers but was placed on season-ending injured reserve in November with a shoulder injury. The Raiders placed a franchise tag on Branch. Branch signed a four-year million contract with the Raiders Branch was fined against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Branch signed a one-year contract with the Kansas City Chiefs.
He went on to have a breakout season for the Raiders as the starting strong safety in all games, finishing with unassisted tackles and assists, two forced fumbles, and a sack. He had his best game of the year in a win over the heavily favored Bengals with tackles and a forced fumble. During the NFL season, he again started in all games for an unassisted tackle and.
