On Saturday, January 4th, Team Neutrino had its annual kickoff meeting, signaling the start of the build season! All 33 team members showed up and watched the livestream of the new game, read the game manual, and developed strategies for the robot. We’re so excited for the build season!

Last weekend, Team Neutrino volunteered for the FLL Scrimmage and Webster City FLL Regional! At the FLL Scrimmage, Team Neutrino and Team Photon gave FLL teams in Ames the opportunity to present their innovation projects, receive feedback, and run through robot matches against other teams before they competed in Webster City. Following the FLL Scrimmage, the AMS FLL teams competed at the Webster City FLL Regional! Some awards won by the teams include:

Octopuses or Octopodes

• Won the Rising All-Star Award
• Won the State Advancing Award

Curious Banana Seal Surfers

• Won the State Advancing Award

See Neutrino’s questions at 11:50, 13:28, and 14:35! Local FTC team Atomic Narwhals also got to ask several questions. Thanks to Iowa 4-H and the Iowa Space Grant Consortium for making this happen!
