2019#02 ACES OF Texas

A team from each of the four subregions of the Texas ACES Region started preparing for their 2019-2020 City Shapers FLL Season in a different month in 2019.  These 4 teams each focused on a different competition area: Core Values, Project, Robot Design and Robot Game. These four areas are now equally weighted toward the advancement criteria.  They each also took a different approach on how their team would stand out in their Project judging.

1. The team that focused on Core Values was really big on sharing.  They wanted to use their season to engage with other teams as well as share their project presentations with their local community beyond just their parents and coaches.
2. The Capital City Cyclers started two months before the Downtown Clowns which gave them plenty of time to focus on research using clues from the pre-season teaser ahead of the official challenge release on August 1st.
3. The team that started last was a school team waiting for on-campus meetings to start.  They dove straight into the Robot Game. Though they didn’t have the summer to get ahead on research, the figured they would make up for it by focusing on innovation.
4. The Downtown Clowns started after the The team that focused on Core Values but before the McAllen Stallions.
5. The team that focused on the Project over the other 3 competition areas did not spend much time on Research.
