Well, we can’t just sit around talking! To celebrate this year’s great success in FLL, all our team members got together to have one more challenge: a sumo competition. Each team member got together with one other, and since we had 10 members, a total of 5 robots were created. Now, who won?

A big part of the robotic competitions is the outreach to the community in which a team participates, as well as the team’s expression of the FLL Core Values. Teams from around the world were given the opportunity to present their works in these areas for special consideration. Of all the teams that applied internationally, only twelve teams would be invited to compete at the FLL World Festival (April 17-18 in Atlanta, GA). The Fire Breathing Rubber Duckes from Village Home was one of those teams invited!The Duckies are the “sister” team from the co-op that our team went to. AND THEY ARE GOING TO WORLD FEST!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!

  • Their website, made by Tesca, a computer genius age 10.
  • They would REALLY appreciate a financial contribution, because they live in Oregon, and Worlds is in Georgia. There’s a page on that topic here.
