78.

But this could all still change, for now 78th place is...well...not last place!
Worldwide 17000 teams competed, these are the Worldfinals, we shouldn't take that for granted!
We didn't come to win.
A perfect score is around 400 and the team had an average score of 100.
Not bad! Not bad at all!
But if we win anything it is confidence, language-skills, friendships and a lot of good will!
I was amazed to see how my kid walks up to the guy with the jojo-act, he was pretty amazing!, his name is Patrick and my kid shook his hand, telling him how awesome he thought that was.
So there's confidence.
We made a lot of friends with a lot of "dropjes", apparently licorice is popular, even though it is "an acquired taste", but many americans have dutch ancestors and the luggage is a bit lighter, thank heavens for that, after all the licorice we left behind!
The kids are fluent English by now!
Good will hopefully for our coaches which is a mother and son team, ever percevering, boldly going where noone and so forth, it is such an effort for them to pull this off!
The games are more or less finished, we now hang on for the rest of the show and the amazing finals of the highschoolteams.
I am still a bit of a nitwit when it comes to robotics, but I love being here, in the big-boys-pits.
Dedication, concentration and the ever present gracious professionalism.
Truly magnificent!
