These schools were among 24 teams competing on Sunday, and their victory has secured them a place in the state championship scheduled for March.
The Grand Champion Award is given to teams that fully embrace the Core Values of the FIRST LEGO League Challenge. This includes excellence and innovation in Robot Performance, Robot Design, and the Innovation Project.
