Re: Lego League Teams

Team 467 (Duct Tape Bandits) has had Lego teams for the past 7 or 8 years or so, usually multiple team. This year we had 4 teams, consisting of 10 middle school students ("Junior Bandits"). 10 of the high school students coach and mentored the 4 teams. We went to 3 competitions this year and for the first time, we held our own Lego League competition (www.mindstormmayhem.org). Our teams did a fantastic job, bringing home several awards, from spirit (boy they were loud!), to Leadership awards.

The Lego teams are our "feeder" program. Many of the high school team members started out on the lego team - we have seniors this year that have been involved in FIRST for 6+ years!
