Universal Vare Robotics Team

On Saturday January 11, 2020 Our Universal Vare Robotics Team entered the first LEGO League Regional Qualifier Tournament at Penn Alexander School for the first time as a rookie team. Our team prepared three presentations for the judges. We also designed, built and programmed our LEGO Robot using the EV3 software. At the competition our team placed 14th out of 18 schools, and we received many compliments from students and adults alike about how passionate we are and how much heart we displayed!
