Brainy Bunch First Lego League Robotics Team Places 2nd in World Invitational!
The Brainy Bunch FLL Robotics Team, after attending 4 days of the World Invitational First Lego League Robotics Tournament in Florida, came in 2nd Place out of 59 teams in the Research category! This means the judges were particularly impressed with their innovative solution to a real-world problem (milk contamination). Their Terahertz device for detecting milk contamination and their subsequent pending patent really impressed the judges. They also came in 2nd place overall during the first ever held Robot Derby (fastest robot out of the starting line). What made this win special is how the kids rallied behind their French Alliance partners at the tournament and together they came in 1st and 2nd place! Their team work and spirit was exceptional.
Congratulations to team members Aly Luckett, Andy Zhao, Dhriti Vij, Ryan Gottwald, Arthur Tisseront, Jordan Ganley and their coaches!
