The FTC Robotics tournament was in early December. Francis Parker has a robotics program in order to compete in First Robotics, which is a high school robotics program where students can compete in various tournaments around the country (US) using robots that they have built. If you want more information, you can find it here. FTC is the smaller of the high school programs, and we hosted a tournament for it. I acted as a volunteer, because we're not allowed to participate in our own tournaments. This was actually cool to see, because when you go to these tournaments, you don't realize how much work it takes behind the scenes to make it run. Being part of the people behind-the-scenes give you a new appreciation for how hard it is to run these tournaments. However, if there was one thing I would have done differently it would have been to start the entire event a bit later. Everyone appeared to be stressed, which I believe could have been avoided if the tournaments had been started an hour or so later.
