Odyssey of the mind reflection

Odyssey of the mind reflection

The best part of our performance according to the judges was: They liked how our set moved.
The best part of our performance according to me was:I liked how our set moved in a spinning formation.
Or weakest score was: When we were in the hall waiting  to go on we go points removed for talking loud.
I think we could have improved the most with: Was talking loud.

Here are some things I learned from the experience: That we shouldn't talk loud when there are officials are around.
Something I would do differently next time would be: Make the characters more visible.
