Support the Technobotts2! We do.
Last year, the local Technobotts team entered the First Lego League Robot competition, and made it all the way to the world finals in Atlanta Georgia.
This year's competition began on December 1 at the Imperial War Museum in Duxford, just outside of Cambridge. Unfortunately, the Technobotts were defeated there this year; the team that beat them subsequently won the UK national finals, and are off to Atlanta.
That didn't stop the Technobotts though; they decided to enter the RoboCup Jr competition in the UK. They entered both the dance competiton, where the boys built robots they danced with in a performance of Ghostbusters, as well as entering the rescue mission where they had to build a line following robot.
Their robot won the secondary school rescue mission, and they are now competing in the UK 2008 RoboCup Jr finals!
