Hundreds of middle school students sent their Lego robots into battle Saturday at Sacramento’s Inderkum High School in a competition to see which creation could complete the most tasks.
Students came from 48 schools in 15 Northern California counties. The teams spent months building their robots from scratch and programming them.
At the end of the day, the Folsom DYNObytes claimed first place. The team of eight students came from a variety of schools and grade levels in the Folsom area. The Eggheads, a team from Petaluma, placed second.
The Folsom team advances to the state competition, to be held in May at Legoland in Carlsbad, north of San Diego.
