Braemar House School sent two teams to the University of Waterloo on Dec. 4 to compete for trophies in the First Lego League regional competition. The competition was hosted by the University of Waterloo and sponsored by RIM Industries and Google.
There were 27 teams from this region participating in various competitions. The teams had to build a robot out of Lego, program it using NX, and then have it complete challenging missions on a field table. The teams also competed in a teamwork challenge, wrote and presented a robot design strategy and researched a Food Safety issue, presenting their findings to the judges.
Both teams were successful. The Braemar Robeartics won the best teamwork trophy. And the Braemar Bearbots won the rising star trophy. There are over 55 countries competing for trophies in the First Lego League Robotics program.
Braemar thanks the Brant-Lyn Optimists Club and Frank Balazs for their support and mentor-ship.
