Botball = student designed autonomous robots that maneuver on a game board, picking up balls, going over speed bumps and managing turns before depositing the ball and scoring points. Oh, in a tournament format. It sounds like Nerd Nirvana. Of course that's where the Turkey was all day on Saturday -- the regional Botball Tournament. Total Nerdvana! (nerd + nirvana = nerdvana. But you got that already, right?)
The Turkey and his team of 4 other freshmen spent the past 7 weeks building and programming their robot for Saturday's tournament. They placed #14 out of 142. Not bad for their first tournament! No prizes for the boys but they did get team t-shirts, participation t-shirts, and pizza. Oh, and an entire day in Nerdvana.

_LOVE_ the term "nerdvana!" Is there a website for websters where you could submit it as a new word for 2009????? Would make a great blog title too. Wow! Their team did great! Congrats to the nerd. Two free tshirts and pizza, sounds great to me! :-)
