Farraguts LEGO Robotics teams compete in qualifying tournament

Saturday, January 26th, the Farragut Astros and the Galactic Narwhals LEGO Robotics teams competed in a qualifying tournament.

During the competition students were judged in several areas:

Robotics – Students are given a specific course with several LEGO related missions to complete. This year’s theme was Into Orbit for the 50th anniversary of the moon landing.

Technical – Students show off their best programs and explain the technical/coding part behind it.

Core Values – Students are given a team-building task when they walk in the room. They are expected to work together as a team to complete the task while using the First LEGO League (FLL)’s set of Core Values. They are judged on how well they work together as a team.

Project – Students had to come up with a project to complete that related to the FLL’s theme, Into Orbit. Students completed research and came up with a solution related to problems astronauts face in space.

The Galactic Narwhals did a great job but, unfortunately, did not qualify for the regional tournament. Thank you to the Galactic Narwhals for a great season.
