The Gudith Jr. Goons Robotics Team represented the WBSD at the state competition last weekend. The robot had two perfect runs, scoring the maximum points that it was able to. Although the team did not place in the top ten to advance, one of the project judges commended the team, again, on their teamwork and representing the CORE Values of First Lego League. (Discovery, Innovation, Inclusion, Teamwork, Impact, Fun). The team enjoyed interacting with the other FLL teams and competing in the robot game. Congrats again, Gudith Jr. Goons for representing WBSD well!
