Park's LEGO League team took on the Minnesota FIRST LEGO League State Championship on February 25th. Regional and sectional tournaments narrowed Minnesota's 633 FLL teams down to 61 competing at the State level in St. Paul. The morning was filled with judging sessions on Core Values, Project, Robot Design and Programming, and three demonstrations of their robot building and programming in the Robot Game. The Tiger Bots received call-backs for finalist judging for their "Innovative Solution" and robot "Innovative Design and Strategy". Then came the challenge of waiting for results. During the awards ceremony, the TigerBots were grateful to receive 2nd Place for their Innovative Solution of the Mussel Blaster 3000 which would remove zebra mussels from boats as they leave boat landings. They also have the opportunity to apply for the FIRST LEGO League Global Innovation Award which is a national competition with cash prizes which would allow them to build a real Mussel Blaster 3000. The TigerBots appreciate all of the support they have received this season. They look forward to hosting Learn from LEGO League days in April. This is a great opportunity for other students to learn more about what LEGO League is all about. See more photos under the Pictures and Videos tab.
