Bridge Point took it's first ever robotics team to the First League Lego (FLL) competition this year. FLL is an amazing event that combines robotics, engineering, creativity, collaboration, programming and research with real-world problems. BPE sent a team of seven 4th graders who all worked to learn all about hydrodynamics and how we find, transport, use, and dispose of water in our world. Team Lego Roblocks, coached by Ms. Ricketson and parent volunteer Ms. Gewirtzman, built 19 different missions that replicated real-life situations of how we work with water including flushing toilets, fixing broken pipes, and maintaining water treatment plants. They worked together to design an autonomous Lego Mindstorms robot that had to flip over sewer covers, drop off rain barrels, flush toilets, fix pipes, and so much more, all within two minutes! After hours and hours of practice, redesigns, testing fails, broken parts, frustration, enlightenments, perspiration and inspiration, this group put on a skit about how to get more water out to the playground, presented their research, talked about how their team got along and didn't get along, set goals and met their goal of completing two missions successfully at the Robot Game! Check out a team that completed the entire mission! Congratulations to this amazing team of 4th graders, it was an absolute delight to work with you all!
