Day 10: Design Review

Today was our design review!
 
Before the review (which started at night), subteams prepared for their presentations. For better or worse, this went by quickly.

We had dinner once again! In addition to tacos and chips, this meal came with a heathy dose of us belting classic songs like Sweet Caroline at the top of our lungs.
 
During the design review, students presented designs to mentors, who gave feedback for the subteams to consider. This was a very thorough process, so thank you to everyone who stayed late and weathered the storm!
 
GO ROBOTOTES!!!
