We are back and locked in for Kickoff where we spent the day brainstorming and studying the new game! CyberBlue is ecstatic to dive into our new adventure with this year’s game, Reefscape. The theme for this year has sparked our minds with ideas on how to build our robot to work with coral and algae.
