On February 15 at Palmyra Area High School, Friends’ Central’s Middle School robotics team, Phoenix 2, competed as one of the 36 best First Lego League teams in the state of Pennsylvania. Our FCS robot scored a team record 405 points on the competition table, and both of the team’s presentations received full marks from the judging panel, earning our students ninth place in the state. To put that in perspective, there are 388 First Lego League teams in the state of Pennsylvania; our team placed in the top 10! Their robot design presentation also earned them the Engineering Excellence Award, which acknowledged the care the team put into improving their robot through a data-driven interactive design process. We are so proud of our students and grateful to their wonderful teacher and coach, Teacher Dan. Go Phoenix!
