Last year, we came to the tournament and we couldn't program it. On Saturday, Hossain's robots rolled into the competition and succeeded in getting on the scoreboard. But, like many other entries, computer bugs often left Hossain's robots sputtering on the game board as he stood nearby, fidgeting and helpless, seemingly straining to make the clock run out faster. The technical meltdowns and moments of dejection were nothing new for Miller, who tried to comfort disappointed students. They both pretty much blew up within a couple months of one another. . . .
Occasional failure is okay.
You just have to learn from it.
