Despite not having time to compete in this year's VEX V5 competition, I still have enthusiasm about meeting both older and newer teams, understanding their strategy, analyzing their robot design, and much more. This time in September, I had the chance to volunteer in the TAI-VEX Scrimmage as a scorekeeper referee. I enjoyed it very much and felt excited to see all the team's potential.
I arrived at the competition venue at 12pm and started to prepare for the team's inspection. Then soon the main competition matches started, and my job was to calculate the score of both alliances and confirm it with the teams. Time flies and the matches soon ended at 5pm. I helped clean up the field and pack up tools, then headed home.
It was a very pleasant experience, I had the chance to meet old friends from last year and the opportunity to watch the match from such a close distance. I will definitely continue to volunteer in the VEX competition whenever I have the chance.
