Last Friday December 1, 59 middle schools visited Legoland for the First Lego League Championship Tournament, a competition in which kids design Lego robots that must complete tasks. Our previous post didn’t not include the winners, so here they are.
The Championship Winners (who will advance onto the Championships in Atlanta in April) are the Gatorobytes from Folsom, California.
First Place: The Sandy LEGO Beachbots from San Diego.
Second Place: It’s Easy Being Green from Manhattan Beach
Third: The Lego Loonies from Lake View Terrace
Fourth: A three-way tie: Cold Fusion (San Diego), Odd Watts (San Diego) and JV Beach Bot #1 (Long Beach)
Awards were also given for:
Design: Innovative Design: The Sandy LEGO Beachbots (San Diego)
Design: Robot Dependability: Plus Rated Power (Newhall)
Design: Programming: Cold Fusion (San Diego)
Project: Quality Research: Robotrix (La Jolla)
Project: Creative Presentation: If Rotation=1 (San Diego)
Project: Innovative Solution: It’s Easy Being Green (Manhattan Beach)
Team Spirit: Team Evil Genius (Valencia)
Looks like San Diego had good representation, but the crew from the out skirts of Sacto took it all. It’s a shame: we don’t see any Carlsbad teams on this list. What up?

Hey, that Muirlands Robotrix team really rocks!! They should have taken the prize, not just for quality research, but for a really cool bot, that with a tad more adjustment, would’ve rolled right out the door with first prize! There are some pretty bright minds behind those wheels, if you ask me. GO, ROBOTRIX!!!
