Verde: How is your team formatted?
Kamila Wong: We have six members on our team, and we are divided into two sub-teams, 4008A and 4008B, which have their own captains.
V: What makes Vex Robotics competitions different from other competitions?
Aruna Anderson: The teams are smaller, and each season is a different game, and we have learned so much through the experimentation of different mechanisms.
V: What are your goals for the season?
KW: We’ve won the Judge’s Award before, and we would love to win another award at another competition.
