LEGO ROBOTICS COMPETITION
FHSU is hosting our 15 th annual Lego Robotics (Virtual) competition. This year the competition will be conducted virtually. The competition is open to all area middle school students (grades 5-8). With the uncertainties in COVID Surges, and differing times for vaccinations across the state, we have decided not do a face-to-face competition this year. But, for you robot fans out there we are trying something new this year –
FHSU LEGO Robotics Throwdown Challenge 2021.
Please submit video and questions to fhsu.robotics@gmail.com
NO entry fee, unlimited student participation.
February 15 - March 22, 2021
The challenges are posted below and students will compete using these events. To compete and be judged, students will submit videos of their robot completing the challenges by March 22, 2021. Video must clearly show the robot for the entire attempt so that it can be fairly judged. Awards will be given for 1 st, 2 nd, & 3 rd places in each event. The top teams in each challenge will be announced during a Facebook live video on April 3, 2021 on the FHSU Science Café Facebook page.
