The Piece Makers present at competition

The Piece Makers present their project at competition.

In its third year in the First Lego League, Broadalbin-Perth has put forth 10 regular teams and one Junior FLL team to compete in the Hudson and Mohawk Valley regions throughout the winter months.

Teams were formed over the summer, and starting in August, they began building their robots and attachments. Each team also had to set up their “missions” in which they would attempt to score points using a programmable “brick” that would serve as the heart and brain of their robots.

With the guidance of their coaches, teams programmed with the Lego Mindstorms software and worked to strategize how their robots would successfully complete different missions on the playing field.

In addition to the missions, during the competitions, teams have to present a research project related to this year’s theme, Allied Animals, which focuses the relationship between people and animals.

This year’s teams are:
