FIRSTers and Legos

[JackN]

I LOVE Lego's. i have played with them since i was a wee lad. when i hit 7th grade i joined the Lego robotics team. we did horrible that year but we bonded and worked hard, that is also when i adopted the motto DON'T USE TREADS! My 8th grade year i again was part of the team. This went a lot better. we designed one slick little robot. since it was the mission mars game the Martians were well equipped to handle it. We designed a cage that would drop down on the rover and carry it back to base. we finished third at our regional and in the top 20 in the state. Now i find time to mentor the two Goodrich Middle School teams and learn them some Lego's. Also me and my friend built the field for a rookie team in oxford at Clear Lake Elementary. I have loved Lego's all my life that when i heard that they were in financial trouble i almost broke down and cried.
