The Woodland Lego Warriors recently competed in the East Tennessee Competition of the First Lego League. The First Lego League is a program in which scientific and real-world challenges are developed for teams of students to focus and research on. The robotics part of the competition involves designing and programming robots from Lego Mindstorms to complete tasks and challenges. The students work out solutions to the various problems they are given and then meet for regional tournaments to share their knowledge, compare ideas, and display their robots.
During their recent competition at the East Tennessee State Competition, the members of the Lego Warriors placed third out of thirty-six teams in the state on the core values portion of the competition. This consisted of a timed teamwork challenge.
