My name is Sathvik and this is my fourth year of FLL. I am an eighth grader at Karrer middle school. My favorite part of FLL is building tools for the robot table. I like my team a lot because we split up the work, so everyone gets to do something during meetings. I love my team job as Project Manager because My hobbies include programming and playing video games. Overall, I love FLL not because of what it is, but because of what it makes you.

I have lived in Dublin, Ohio my whole life and I have done robotics for two years and a half years. I go to Grizzell Middle School as a seventh grader. I am 12 years old and I will turn 13 next August. As the Operations Manager, I serve as the caretaker and cleaner of the robot table and the robot. I also am a tool/attachment builder. My favorite part of FLL is building tools and attachments for the robot. I love the moment during awards when they are announcing who is moving on to the next round. That moment is very rewarding. Other than FLL, I do piano and Boy Scouts.

My name is Sai, and I am 13 years old. This is my 2nd year of FLL. I enjoy FLL because it is a fun time to learn new things and enjoy with the team. Robot scrimmage is my favorite event because we can see our programming in action. My favorite thing to do on the team is programming the robot. I do many outside activities such as basketball, taekwondo, and chess. I play 2 instruments: the violin and piano. My time on 8 To Automate has been fun and exciting. I always look forward to meeting the team every week.

I have been participating in FLL for 5 years, serving as Head Programmer for the previous two years and Team Coordinator this year. I enjoy programming and building the project prototype the most, but I also like to learn new things surrounding each year's theme and project. I also enjoy robot documentation. As one of the most experienced team members, I attempt to demonstrate leadership effectiveness with all FLL areas, helping my teammates on anything. Outreach and coopertition events are always fun and I love to show my FLL passion by helping other teams. As a Team Coordinator, I keep track of time and make sure that everything is flowing properly. I also lead core value discussions. My favorite FLL experiences have been the Legoland International Tournament, working with NASA on last years project, the Dayton Air Show FLL outreach, and my birthday celebrations with the Automates. Outside of FLL, I participate in soccer, swim team, Math Counts, Science Olympiad, piano lessons, violin lessons, Boy Scouts, Dublin Youth Orchestra, and Jujitsu.

I’m 14 years old, and I go to Grizzell Middle School. This is my first year on 8 to Automate, but my third year of FLL. My favorite thing to do on our team is help on the robot table. I spend about the same amount of time on the project and the robot. In my free time I enjoy researching and learning about new topics. I also enjoy drawing and filming stop motion films. One of my activities that I do besides FLL is soccer. I have been doing soccer for six years in Dublin.

Hello! My name is Anya, and I’m 15 years old. I’m a freshman at Dublin Jerome High School, and this is my fourth year of FLL. My favorite thing about FLL are the teammates that I have and what I learn from FLL. Everything that we do helps us not only become better thinkers, but better people. I joined because I love the challenge that FLL presents me and because I love meeting new people. I definitely enjoy the project aspect of FLL the most because I enjoy organizing and dealing with information. Outside of FLL, I am the team captain for my synchronized swimming team, treasurer for Jerome's speech and debate team, officer for Jerome's math club, and a basketball cheerleader. I volunteer for Karrer's MathCounts and Power of the Pen teams. I love reading, writing, watching Parks and Recreation, binge eating ice cream, and shopping for blazers online. I am the funniest on the team, even though Max I thinks he's the funniest.

My name is Arwen, and this is my 5th year of FLL. My team job is Team Coordinator; I'm the team cheerleader and I make sure everything is going smoothly. During meetings, I am the one who ensures that we remain on task and efficient. My favorite part of FLL are coopertition and education outreach events. It's always great to meet others who share my passion for FLL, and I love meeting and talking to new people. More importantly, a passion of mine is introducing and getting younger girls interested into STEM. At these education outreach activities, I love being able to see the excitement on these girls' faces, and being the one who is able to introduce them to this exciting world of STEM is everything to me. I also love public speaking, debating, reading, writing, online shopping, and binge watching, and listening to musicals. I love sleeping and also am a big foodie- just don't touch my coffee. Besides FLL, I am a competitive artistic swimmer and fencer, a flutist, as well as an artist. I also do cross country, and I am the 8th grade Student Council President.
