FLL Regional Tournament 08

FLL students competing

On Saturday, December 13, 2008, we hosted the annual regional FLL tournament at Catlin Gabel. Many local teams competed in the event, and much fun was had by all.

The day started off at around 8:00, with teams arriving in full regalia with their Lego robots in tow. After an opening assembly, teams gathered in diferent areas of the campus to make use of practice tables before it was time for them to compete.

The competition itself happened in three rounds, with each team getting three chances at the table. Some teams fared better than others in terms of points, but everyone gained valuable knowledge and experience from the event.

Throughout the day, FLL students visited our High School Robotics lab and FRC students gave tours and demonstrations with last season's competition robot, Nemo.

The event closed with the handing out of awards. We all had a great day!
